The 38th Annual Art Auction will be here before you know it. If you’ve joined us for an auction in the past, this year will be a “little” different. We’ve partnered with auction gurus, Leland Little Auction House, who will facilitate our event online, for an entire week, from Thursday, October 22 through Friday, October 30. Bidding will open on the 22nd, and the Auction will end with a “live” closing, starting at 1 PM on the 30th.

In addition to funding operation expenses, proceeds from this year’s event will go toward funding a newly reimagined community gallery and workspace that will feature local photographers and provide a place for all of our communities to come together and create.

The 42 pieces offered in this year’s auction will be on view at The Light Factory gallery starting Thursday, October 22nd – Friday, October 30th.
