Each year, we host a benefit auction to underwrite the cost of our biennial art conference & assist in providing for our annual operating expenses. The evening includes one of the largest SILENT AUCTIONS in South Central Pennsylvania, a FREE CATERED MEAL, and a LIVE AUCTION featuring art, handmade goods, and specialty items.

This year, we will hold our Fifth Annual Benefit Auction on April 11, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at Grace Church at Willow Valley in Lancaster, PA. (Please note: This year’s event will be held at a new location.)

While registration for this event is required, tickets are FREE! The best way to show your support is by bidding on items, making a cash donation, or you can contact us about sponsoring a table at the event. Also, just for fun, we invite you to bring your spare change to fill-up our paint buckets & help us fund our community engagement events & art programs for children.
