Treasure Market 2009

Treasure Market is a fine arts, antiques, and collectibles resale event that benefits the Cantor Arts Center. Local residents, Stanford alumni, designers, art and antique dealers, estate managers, and collectors donate items to Treasure Market. These unique donations are then sold to the public at a four-day fundraiser to be held March 26-29, 2009, at the Arrillaga Center for Sports and Recreation at Stanford University.

Champagne Preview, March 26, 2009, opens Treasure Market with a sneak preview featuring a cast of experts. Meet Alan Fausel, of Antiques Roadshow and Bonhams and Butterfield, who will be on hand to discuss the “Art of Collecting” and share his stories. The eight local artists who donated their creativity to the Mannequin Project will discuss their inspired works. The Silent Auction will be open and champagne and elegant hors d'oeuvres will be served.   

Opening Night Party, March 27, 2009, will kick off the Treasure Market sale. Look at some of the exciting Silent Auction items available and check in January 2009 for an expanded list.  Purchase tickets to win a Treasure Chest worth $3,000 in prizes. Wine and appetizers will be served.

Invitations for Treasure Market will be mailed to Cantor Arts Center members in February 2009 and tickets can be purchased beginning February 23. For more information, please review frequently asked questions. 

During its 50-year history, Treasure Market has generated more than $3.5 million for art acquisitions at the Center, and has made art affordable and accessible to thousands of people. See some of the treasures that will be available at Treasure Market 2009.
