Thu, May 16, 2024, 5:30 –9 pm MCAD Main Gallery Annual Event Image The Auction at MCAD Thursday, May 16, 2024 Expand your collection by bidding on any of the fifty original artworks–all in support of student scholarships at MCAD. For those joining our Premier Access event, you'll connect with auction artists, have a first peek at their works before bidding opens, sip at the signature Spritz Bar, and enjoy hearty appetizers from the evening's award-winning caterer Chowgirls. Before the main event begins, our Premier Access experience will feature hip-hop violinist Daniel Gilbert. And you'll have the chance to learn your fate with artist and tarot reader Kei Gratton. For our Main Event, we have tasty bites by Chowgirls, a mix of cocktails from Bacardi Limited Brands, and live music by Current DJ Jake Rudh as you explore our galleries and bid on a curated selection of photography, sculpture, printwork, painting, and more. Then raise your paddle for the live auction and funding scholarships, hosted by Rusty Kath from Fladeboe Advancement. Throughout the night, you can unwind in our special event lounge, imagined by the local design firm Prospect Refuge Studio. Also, explore one-of-a-kind installations from MCAD alumni Benjamin Currie '15, Zoe Cinel '18, MFA, and She She X Anh Tran '21. Join us for an evening of stunning art, vibrant creativity, and support for student scholarships!
