My previous post on the subject seemed to be popular, so here is a new list of upcoming art benefits:

• The Kitchen has a benefit art auction on November 2. That link already has images of many of the works to be auctioned. Impressive. The lovely and talented Christopher Gaillard of Sotheby's, who always helps out at Momenta's benefit, will be the auctioneer.
• The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) has a benefit on November 8 aimed at a bit richer crowd than some -- tickets start at $250. I don't see any kind of art auction in the description, but the snacks are provided by Danny Meyer, which is a good thing.
• Winning points for having a MySpace Page, the "BetteJean" benefit to raise money for research on ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," takes place on November 9th at Galapagos. There will be a silent auction that includes work by James Nares and others, plus musical performances. They're still encouraging submissions of works for the silent auction. Artists, this might be your chance to get noticed by some new collectors. Tickets are only $10.
