The virtual event will focus on an auction featuring 200 album-sized 12”x12” boards, created by local and nationally recognized artists.

Highlights of the artists’ live painting will be showcased throughout as well.
Music will feature a live performance by The Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken from the Brown Deer Conservatory. The evening will also include interviews with the artists and musicians.
