About this Event
Celebrate the season with wine, hors d’oeuvres, an interactive artist talk, and a live holiday art auction. Pay What You Wish admission!
An Intimate Holiday Evening of Art, Conversation & Collecting
Skip the crowded holiday malls and step into a curated cultural night out. Join us for a special Holiday Art Auction & Interactive Salon—an intimate evening designed to bring art lovers, collectors, and community together over wine, light hors d’oeuvres, meaningful dialogue, and original artwork.
Rather than a traditional gallery walk-through, this event is built as a living conversation. You’ll hear directly from the featured artist about the stories, inspiration, and creative process behind each piece in an interactive crowd Q&A—giving you a deeper connection to the work before raising your paddle in our live holiday art auction.
Whether you are looking to acquire a one-of-a-kind gift for someone special, start your own art collection, or simply enjoy a rich cultural night out with good company, this evening is for you.
What to Expect
- Welcome Reception: Sip on curated wine, enjoy light holiday hors d’oeuvres, and preview the collection up close.
- Interactive Artist Talk: An open, crowd-driven conversation exploring the meaning and stories behind the artwork.
- Live Holiday Art Auction: Bid on original pieces in a lively, welcoming atmosphere—perfect for holiday gifting or elevating your personal space.
- Community & Connection: Mingle with fellow creatives, patrons, and neighbors in a warm, festive setting
Pay What You Wish Admission
We believe meaningful art and cultural experiences should be accessible to our entire community. Admission is Pay What You Wish (suggested contribution: $25, or whatever feels right for you).
Every contribution goes directly toward supporting our featured artist, evening hospitality (wine & hors d’oeuvres), and ongoing community arts programming.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the conversation intimate and ensure plenty of room to mingle. Reserve your spot early!
