The Auction includes work by some of the finest professional artists in the region including alumni, faculty, staff, students, trustees and friends.
The event consists of live and silent auctions juried by Carey Vose of Vose Gallery, Martha Richardson of the Martha Richardson Gallery and Zola Solomente of Arden Galley.
