About the event
ArtSpan invites you to LOCALLY GROWN: ArtSpan Benefit Auction 2026
After a one-year hiatus, our auction returns to bring you a celebration of the artists who shape the soul and identity of San Francisco. This year’s Auction is an invitational showcase of works donated by 60 generous artists from our community of over 1,000 members — a focused and powerful reflection of the depth of talent cultivated in the Bay Area.
Enjoy two unforgettable evenings featuring live paddle raises, conversations with artists and art luminaries, delicious bites and refreshments, and live music while helping raise $100,000 to support ArtSpan's core programs serving local artists year-round. The live auction is led by renown Bonhams' Auctioneer Aaron Bastian.
