This June, Gallery Aferro celebrates all that is unique and exciting
about the arts and community with their 11th annual benefit art auction and party. MCs Justin Williams and Johann Chacko, DJ Joya Angola Thompson, and surprise guests will take you away, to another world. Festivities include:
Two floors of extraordinary artworks up for bid.
Delectable refreshments, strong icy cocktails and roving ice cream bar.
Music and gratuitous art weirdness.
Cash raffle and epic prizes… galore!
VIP ticket buyers receive a signed limited edition print by Evonne M. Davis, with gift bag, can bid on artworks prior to general auction opening during VIP hour 6-7PM, and can access delivery options for their artwork purchases. There are only 50 prints in the edition.
All proceeds support Gallery Aferro’s nonprofit programs, including, but not limited to year-round exhibitions and public events such as workshops, talks, screenings, artist residencies including two new fellowships for parent-artists and women artists of color, publications, public art, educational offerings, collaborations, legacy work and curatorial stewardship for elder artists, and innovative, community-responsive projects.
