I am currently Board President of the wonderful community-based arts organization Kala Art Institute in West Berkeley, located next door to Meyer Sound.

This year my parents Helen and John Meyer are the honorary co-chairs of the Kala Gala. The founder and current Director Archana Horsting wanted to honor my parents for all the support they have given to the Bay Area arts community for over forty years. I agreed...

We would love your support. The Gala/Auction is being held on Saturday 6th April 2019, 6-9pm. Since we are having the Gala in Kala's gallery space, we do not have room for the traditional table setup. However, since we are holding the event in our gallery space, the quality of the art this year is incredible. You can check it out here: http://www.kala.org/gallery/spring-gala-and-auction/

Instead of tables, we sell levels of support, which include tickets and other perks.

Would you be willing to support Kala and simultaneously honor the generosity of my parents by contributing to Kala at the $10,000 Visionary Level (which includes ten tickets)?

Would you be willing to support Kala and simultaneously honor the generosity of my parents by contributing to Kala at the $5,000 Arts Advocate Level (which includes eight tickets)?

Would you be willing to support Kala and simultaneously honor the generosity of my parents by contributing to Kala at the $2,500 Collector Level (which includes six tickets)?

Would you be willing to support Kala and simultaneously honor the generosity of my parents by contributing to Kala at the $1,000 Enthusiast Level (which includes four tickets)?

Would you be willing to support Kala and simultaneously honor the generosity of my parents by contributing to Kala at the $500 Enthusiast Level (which includes two tickets)?

If you are unable to attend the event, you could gift the tickets, or the Kala staff would gladly distribute them to local artists and community supporters.

Individual tickets are $100, purchased through eventbrite, ($125 at door).

Of course we appreciate any level of support you could give.

Sincerely, and I hope you see you at the auction,

Perrin Meyer
