Benefit to Celebrate 10 Years in the Center for the Visual Arts

Over the past decade, the CVA has served as a hub for artistic inquiry, creative growth and community engagement. As we commemorate this milestone, we hope to honor the artists, educators, students and supporters who have helped shape its success.

Join us for an evening of art, hors d’oeuvres, live music and a silent art auction in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Center for the Visual Arts!

Friday, November 13 | 5 - 8 p.m.

Purchase a VIP Preview ticket to gain early entry from 5–6 p.m. and priority access to purchase artworks in the auction at a “Buy It Now” price. Free general admission begins at 6 p.m., with the silent auction concluding at 7:30 p.m.

Proceeds from this benefit will directly support the School of Art Fund to help sustain and enhance the facility for future generations of artists and students.
