2024 Benefit Auction by The Drawing Center

Auction Description

This year's benefit auction brings together over 30 artists, curators, and art lovers from The Drawing Center's community to examine why we are drawn to some artworks over others. Each guest curator will present a selection of works on paper by artists they admire.
Works will be on view from Thursday, September 26 through Monday, September 30, and will be available for purchase through a silent auction benefiting The Drawing Center and participating artists. All works are sold FRAMED unless otherwise indicated.
The auction will conclude with a party in our galleries on September 30, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Tickets are available here.
