Arts Benicia is excited to announce the 21st Arts Benicia Annual Benefit Art Auction, held on September 21.
Every September, art lovers and collectors from all over the Bay Area attend Benicia’s premier art event: Art Benicia’s Benefit Art Auction! Now in its 21st year, the evening will feature Steve Gizzi as our auctioneer. Join Arts Benicia for an exciting evening of art, food, drinks and fun.
Once again the auction will be held in the historic Clock Tower; we will be serving a selection of delicious First St. Cafe hors d’oeuvres to compliment signature cocktails provided by the Rellik Tavern, fine wines and beer. The evening will include our popular silent auction, live music, a complimentary photo booth by Michael Van Auken, and a live art auction that will keep guests on the edge of their seats. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy appetizers and peruse the selections of this year’s Silent Auction, which will close at 8:15 pm. BAIC multimedia will be providing tech support for a smooth check-out.
