Guests will have the chance to see a new piece unveiled, meet the artist, have pieces signed and donate to charity
Las Vegas, NV (March 21, 2012 )—World renowned artist Michael Godard will host a special event at the Michael Godard Art Gallery, located inside the Rio Hotel and Casino. The event will take place on Saturday, March 31st from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
Fans and art collectors will have the opportunity to see a brand new piece unveiled, purchase art, meet Godard and have pieces personally autographed as part of this event. Godard is also giving back to Las Vegas’ favorite charity, Opportunity Village, by raffling off one of his highly coveted pieces, with all proceeds going to the organization’s Art Enrichment Program. Opportunity Village is a not-for-profit organization that serves people within the Las Vegas community with intellectual disabilities, to enhance their lives and the lives of their families. Tickets for the raffle will be available for $10.00 each, or 7 tickets for $50.00. Guests will also have the special opportunity to purchase a piece created by one of Opportunity Village’s Art Enrichment students, with half the proceeds going to that individual, and the other half going back to the program.
Known as the "Rock Star of the Art World," Godard is currently the #1 best-selling artist in the United States. His world of art invites us into his lighthearted perspective of life, complete with animated olives, grapes and dancing strawberries. His unique portrayal of fun is an exciting combination of imagination and subtle humor, both of which evoke the creative side in “Olive” us.
Godard's work is highly collected by movie stars, rock stars and private collectors, from young to old, from all walks of life. Godard's imaginative world of art is seen by millions of people each month worldwide in places such as cruise lines, galleries, hotels, television, magazines and countless merchandising kiosks and stores. His paintings even adorn the walls of the officer's lounge in the Pentagon.
In addition, Godard has recently debuted his line of Aristocrat “Rockin’ Olives” slot machines, which can be found in hundreds of casinos across the country, including numerous Las Vegas casinos.
