Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Get ready folks! It's time for the annual "Subasta" at Puerto Vallarta's Public Library, Biblioteca Los Mangos. This is the fundraiser's 14th year, and it promises to be the largest and most entertaining to date!

Scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 30th, this annual event presents a unique opportunity for renowned artists, young creators, art lovers, business people from different industries and friends of the Library come together for a single cause: to contribute a grain of sand to make it possible for Los Mangos Library to continue its service of promotion and encouragement towards culture and art, which has been its sole purpose for 17 years.

For donors, artists and sponsors, the evening begins at 5 pm with a private cocktail. Then, at exactly 6:00 pm, the doors will open to the public, registration begins, and access is given to the fixed-price room, where you can find paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, decorative articles, accessories, and gift certificates at attractive prices.

At 7:00 pm the auction starts on the main stage, where some truly impressive pieces of artwork will be presented, exhibited, and sold to the highest bidder. All pieces will be on display prior to the auction.

Throughout the evening you can also help by purchasing delicious snacks donated by some of the best restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, accompanied by a great glass of wine or a refreshing cocktail and live music.

For added convenience, payment for artwork, articles or gift certificates may be made by credit card or cash. There will also be raffles and much more.

Again, please remember that Los Mangos Library is not "just a library." It is a true community and cultural center. By joining in the event, you will be able to give back to our community. Folks, the coffers are nearly empty – so please, come and enjoy a marvelous evening filled with friends, food, drink and fun! Entrance is free.
