The Art Base’s annual fundraiser the pARTy supports our mission to foster creative expression in the visual arts, for all ages and abilities, through education and exhibitions—because when we invest in the arts, we invest in a thriving, connected community. The pARTy begins with our 10 x 10 Name Unseen Silent Auction, cocktails, and art-making activities, followed by fine dining, a paddle raise, and a full celebration in Lions Park under the stars.

All proceeds from the auction and pARTy go to support the Art Base’s efforts to make art and creativity available to all.

10 x 10 Name Unseen Silent Auction

The 10 x 10 Name Unseen silent auction is a two-week exhibition celebrating the creativity and generosity of local and regional artists. Each participating artist donates an original 10″ x 10″ artwork, creating a collection of more than 100 unique pieces available for bidding, with every artwork starting at just $100.

In the spirit of Name Unseen, the artists’ identities remain anonymous throughout the exhibition, inviting visitors to connect with the artwork itself without the influence of a name or reputation.

The exhibition culminates on the third Saturday in August with the Art Base’s annual pARTy, an unforgettable evening of art, celebration, and community. Ticketed guests are invited to dress in the evening’s theme and enjoy a festive night filled with food, drinks, entertainment, and, of course, the excitement of the final 10×10 Name Unseen silent auction.
