Save the Date for the 2019 Artful Evening auction gala, BAM's most fun, festive, and important fundraising event of the year. With over 350 community leaders and friends attending, Artful Evening is the party of the summer, and helps fund world-class exhibitions and essential community programming throughout the year.
You'll sip on cocktails while perusing fabulous paintings, sculptures, and jewelry in the silent and live auctions, dine on a sumptuous meal, bring home works by artists and makers previously featured in BAM exhibitions, and enjoy the first chance to bid on works from BAM ARTSfair artists in the silent auction. Everyone has the opportunity to support the arts during Raise the Paddle in the Live Auction by donating directly to BAM!
