The City of Angels is abuzz with the latest collaboration between The Art of Elysium and the legendary Neil Gaiman, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hobnob with the stars at the 2024 HEAVEN Gala. In a philanthropic twist, this magical pairing has joined forces with eBay to auction off exclusive experiences and collectibles, with proceeds benefiting The Art of Elysium’s noble cause. The auction, which opens its virtual doors on December 11th, 2023, promises to be a treasure trove for fans and philanthropists alike.
Your Ticket to the Stars
Imagine walking the red carpet at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, rubbing shoulders with the glitterati, and basking in the ethereal atmosphere of the 25th-anniversary HEAVEN Gala. This dream can be your reality with the auction’s offerings, including two coveted tickets to the gala, a personal encounter with Neil Gaiman, and a chance to own a piece of literary history with signed editions of his iconic works.
A Celestial Theme: Mystical Library
Neil Gaiman, the mastermind behind acclaimed works like ‘American Gods’, will be honored with the Visionary Award at the gala.
