The Art League's annual [Patrons' Show](https://www.theartleague.org/content/patrons_show_2019) returns to the delight of Old Town art enthusiasts on Sunday, February 17. Described as part block party, part fundraiser, The Patrons' Show is a unique opportunity to view and purchase locally made art, while supporting a great cause. This year marks the 51st anniversary of The Patrons' Show and EYA is proud to sponsor of the event.

Taking place at the landmark [Torpedo Factory Art Center](http://torpedofactory.org/) in Old Town Alexandria, the show will feature over 600 works of art donated by local artists. Ticket holders will be entered into a drawing and selected in random order to choose their favorite piece of artwork. 

Want to get a sneak peek of the art? Download the [Art Thief App](https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/zurka-interactive-llc/id1049581652?mt=8) prior to the show to select your favorites. 

Tickets are required to attend the event and go quickly. [Click here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/preview-patrons-show-fundraiser-2019-tickets-54930347147) to purchase your tickets. Single tickets are $225 and couples tickets are $300, and both include one piece of selected artwork.

All proceeds benefit The Art League's educational programming, exhibits and community outreach programs and it's a great way to show support for the local arts community.

Enjoy the show!
