2016 Celebration of the Arts Exhibit

Group Exhibit and Silent Auction Preview

From oils to watercolors, from ceramics to metalwork, our First Annual Celebration of the Arts Exhibit is a juried collection of original art donated by local and regional artists in support of the Emerson. This inaugural exhibit allows us for the first time to honor and highlight artists who over the years have contributed their works to the Emerson’s most important fundraiser, Celebration of the Arts.

About the Work

Artists support the Emerson by donating art works which are auctioned off during the event to raise money for the Emerson’s exhibits, education and restoration programs. This year, we are showcasing a few of the original works submitted to give recognition to the artists who contribute.

These works will be available for early silent auction bidding. The Celebration of the Arts event is on Friday, January 29, 2016 at 7 PM. If you’d like to help the Emerson further its mission, please consider joining us for this exciting evening, accented with a Chinese New Year theme.
