The 21st 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.

Bidding is now closed. Thank you for your support.

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.

How is it November already?! Our 21st annual Black & White Affair benefiting Studio 23/The Arts Center is quickly approaching. Mark your calendars for December 9th & grab your tickets for a fun evening of art, music, & good conversation. The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. We will also be bringing back our Stock the Bar raffle, featuring a bar cart filled with everything you will need to entertain throughout the holiday season. The drawing will be held at 8:30 p.m. – be sure to buy your tickets! The Black & White Affair is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase our gallery space, promote local artists and businesses, and, most importantly, raise funds to support our mission of making the arts available and accessible to all in our community.
