Noche de AyudARTE - Our two-night gala event joins Arte and Ayudar (help) reflecting both the spirit and intent of the event. Over the past 26 years, NOCHE de AyudARTE (formerly known as Noche de Arte) has directly benefited a number of worthy charities and homes in Santiago a list of which is linked below. This year the event will take place at the Ritz-Carlton, Santiago on the 30th and 31st of May, 2010. 

The event offers a unique opportunity to acquire quality art work in a stimulating social environment while supporting important charities. As many as 42 Chilean artists display and sell their work donating 30% of their proceeds to the International Association of Chile (IAChile), in support of our charitable projects. 

Numerous national and international companies sponsor the Noche de AyudARTE event thus furthering our charitable endeavors. The event is traditionally attended by prominent business people, diplomats, philanthropists and art collectors and receives news media exposure. It is one of Santiago’s more important charitable events and the main source of support for IAChile's charity projects. (One hundred percent of the money raised directly supports special projects as IAChile members volunteer their time and talents.) For a list of this year's projects please see "Charities Assisted in . . . " below.
