Benefit Art Auction


Somarts Gallery filled to capacity with art aficionados and artists


Guests discuss artwork with Executive Director


Beautiful pieces up for bid

This yearly Artspan event is the best kept secret in town for buying great art by San Francisco artists. The silent auction starts at 1/3 of the value of the work. Many pieces are priced modestly, which means that you'll find original art that fit your budget. Despite the recession, artists gave generously and the public who attended reaped the benefits. Purchases helped ArtSpan continue its youth arts program that brings art education to public schools. As a contributing artist, I'm proud to be part of Benefit Art Auction.
