Free Arts NYC: Live Benefit Auction 2024

Free Arts NYC’s Annual Art Auction unites artists who champion our mission to empower youth from underserved communities. For 27 years, we have strived to level the playing field and create equity in the creative space by providing high-quality arts education and 1:1 mentorship for the next generation. Every year, we partner with over 30 schools, community centers, and transitional housing sites to provide free programming for 1,500 young people ages 5-23.

Explore a thoughtfully curated collection, featuring unique pieces like oil paintings, watercolor drawings, screenprints, and more primarily acquired directly from the artists themselves. Each bid plays a role in shaping the future of young creatives, so join us in making a positive impact.
