Official call for art ends November 21st. Application can be found below. Please email jesine@bigskyarts.org for any questions!
Silent auction items will be available for online bidding (exact timing TBD). The evening will include welcome remarks from the Arts Council, an exciting silent auction, and our signature Quick Finish Live Auction, where artists complete works in real time before they go up for bidding. Guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and live entertainment throughout the night.
Online bidding will be available for silent auction items only, with proxy bidding offered for the live auction. In the weeks leading up to the event, we’ll also host preview events in our new space, giving guests a first look at the art and experiences up for bid.
More details: including ticket information, schedule, and participating artists - will be announced soon.
