This Live and Silent auction collaboration between Project Angel Food,
CAA, and a committee of leading gallerists and collectors will celebrate
amazing artists and raise money for Project Angel Food. The live auction
will be led by Sotheby's Principal Auctioneer, Tobias Meyer.
Angel Art, a contemporary art auction benefitting Project Angel
Food, returns to CAA this month for a live and silent auction on Tuesday,
April 23. Over the past nine years, Angel Art has generated funds for
nearly one million meals for Project Angel Food's meal-delivery program.
With 100% of the auction funds directed to the kitchen, Angel Art has a
tremendous impact on Project Angel Food's ability to serve some of the most
vulnerable members of the Los Angeles community.

Simply put, Angel Art is crucial for us. It has provided for nearly one
million meals over the last nine years and we eagerly look forward to Angel
Art 2013, knowing all the healthy meals it will enable us to cook and
deliver."

involved Board of Directors, a professional staff, and more than 3,500
active volunteers. Today, Project Angel Food cooks and delivers more than
