21st Annual Black & White Affair and Art Auction
December 9, 2022
6 – 9 p.m.
The Black & White Affair is returning this Friday, December 9, and we are excited for an evening of drinks, hors d’oeuvres, live music, and a live auction of artwork by local artists.
The annual Black & White Affair benefiting Studio 23/The Arts Center is a fundraising tradition that is known for the high-quality art auction and gallery showcase for regional artists. This year’s major fundraiser will feature an art auction with two exciting components: auction and gallery space both online and inside the Tabor Gallery of Studio 23. View the artwork in person at Studio 23, scan the QR code to bid, or bid online anytime. Artists will also have a “buy it now” option featured, which can be purchased with no bidding required.
A select number of art pieces will be reserved for live auction during the Black & White Affair. Our virtual silent auction will conclude during the Black & White Affair, and guests may take home winning bids that evening. Join us for this exciting evening of live bidding and enjoy live music, hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer, and martinis. The event is black tie optional.
The Black & White Affair Silent Art Auction is a wonderful way to add to your art collection while supporting Studio 23/The Arts Center. The bidding begins at noon on November 26, 2022 and ends at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, December 9, 2022.
We will be accepting artist donations through Wednesday, November 16. Artists interested in donating artwork to the black & white auction can fill out a form here.
