Whatz it Worth?

SUNDAY, APRIL 10 / 1-4 PM

A WOMEN’S AUXILIARY FUNDRAISING EVENT

Do you love watching programs about antiques on PBS? Is there an antique or vintage item you own that you’ve always wanted to find out more about? Do you wonder about that 19th century painting grandma left you or the diamond necklace from your ex-husband? Don’t wonder anymore.

Nationally renowned appraisers Elizabeth Stewart and Craig Evan Small (as seen on Antiques Roadshow) along with the Women’s Auxiliary invite you to participate in a fun and novel experience on the Music Academy’s beautiful campus. Find out the value of your item while benefitting a worthwhile cause!

Every ticket is a 100% tax-deductible contribution to support the Music Academy’s Sing! Children’s Chorus right here in Santa Barbara County.
