After a wonderfully successful evening last year, our Silent Auction Soirée is back—with a fresh collection of art and even more reasons to celebrate.

Join us at The Yard at Saltbreaker for delicious cocktails, the joyous beats of DJ Kula Baker, and an eclectic selection of work by local and national artists. Your ticket includes one complimentary house cocktail or mocktail, with bites and mains available for purchase.

Silent Auction

We’re excited to welcome new contributors alongside some of the generous artists who helped make last year’s event so special. Browse, admire, and place your bids for the chance to take home a beautiful new artwork. Online bidding opens September 21st and closes at the end of the soirée on Friday, October 2nd.

Featuring 15 + local artists - painting, photography, collage, ceramics, woodwork and metalwork.
All proceeds support West End Arts District’s arts programs throughout the year.

We look forward to raising a glass with you in support of art, artists, and our community.
