Thank you for marking a quarter-century of supporting emerging artists and strengthening San Francisco's creative community!
Now in its 25th year, our auction showcases and raises critical funds for Bay Area artists when costs of living, shrinking studio availability, and reductions in public support for the arts continue to threaten the region's cultural ecosystem.
We are proud to feature an eclectic mix of high-quality artwork from over 100 established and emerging artists. A reprise from last year’s success, we’ll have the artwork installed in Root Division’s gallery, online bidding, and a suite of in-person events.
