Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Get ready folks! It's time for the annual "Subasta de Arte" to raise funds for the Puerto Vallarta Public Library, Biblioteca Los Mangos.

Every year, the Subasta (which means auction) is the biggest fund raising event for Los Mangos Library, which is not "just a library," but a true cultural and community center that also serves as a venue for entertaining and educational workshops, art exhibits, concerts, and cultural events.

Scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 25 from 6-10 pm, this annual event presents a unique opportunity for renowned artists, young creators, art lovers, and friends of the Library to come together for a single cause: to make it possible for Los Mangos Library to continue its service of promotion and encouragement of community, learning, culture and art, which has been its sole purpose for 22 years.

An exuberant gathering of the visual arts community where artists, collectors, art entrepreneurs and friends can mingle and bid while enjoying art, food, drinks, and music, the art auction is the library's most important fund raising event of the year.

The Subasta is vast with numerous paintings to be auctioned off, and the silent auction gives everyone a chance to bid on all kinds of great items - from hotel stays and spa treatments to fine dining certificates and more - all at a good price and for a good cause.

Admittance is free. The goal is to raise funds and visibility and to create interest and loyalty to the Puerto Vallarta Public Library as a cultural resource.

The Los Mangos Art Auction is one of the main events of the year in terms of fund raising, thus allowing the library to remain the regional leader in community and cultural services. Please make plans now to attend the 2018 Subasta de Arte on January 25th and help support their efforts.
