Art for Autism Charity Auction supports Gateway Academy
Posted
Join Gateway Academy and Artlink for the Art for Autism Charity Auction at Larsen Gallery 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 20.
At the auction, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy music, local and emerging artists, food and drinks while making a positive impact as proceeds from this charity auction will be split 50/50 between the local artists and Gateway Academy, a nonprofit school serving students with high-functioning autism.
The event begins with an exhibition and then the live auction starting at 12 p.m. Bids will begin at $100, according to a press release. All guests are welcome, and consigners and bidders are encouraged to participate in this charity auction.
“With the support of Artlink and Larsen Gallery, The Art for Autism Charity Auction is going to be a fantastic event filled with art, music, food and more — all while increasing exposure for local Arizona artists and providing much needed support to our incredible students here at Gateway Academy,” O. Robin Sweet, CEO and Executive Director at Gateway Academy, said in the release.
The host of the event, Larsen Gallery, has been in the secondary art market for 30 years. For this auction, Larsen Gallery will also donate 25 works of art for the auction and give 100% of the proceeds to Gateway Academy.
“Gateway Academy is serving an incredible purpose here in the community by giving students with high-functioning autism a place to belong and a safe place to go to school. We are absolutely honored to help them raise some valuable funds for their school and we hope everyone will join us at the gallery on May 20 for a very special auction,” Scott Larsen, owner of Larsen Gallery, said in the release.
A call to artists is facilitated by Artlink, which is also inviting artists from throughout Arizona to participate. Artists interested in participating should visit artlinkphx.org for details.
Larsen Gallery is located at 3705 N. Bishop Lane in Scottsdale.
