Newburyport Art presents the Art of Giving Fundraiser

Newburyport Art (NAA) is pleased to announce Art of Giving Fundraiser, a new spin on the annual art auction – featuring a month-long silent auction and block party! Proceeds from the Art of Giving Fundraiser will directly support the Newburyport Art Association, a non-profit arts organization that has been providing free public access to the arts for over 75 years. Your support helps to support: 25+ yearly exhibitions, community outreach & events, scholarships, community partnerships, and educational programming.

Bidding for our silent auction is open online now, and closes on September 20th at 5:30pm. The silent auction features a Members Exhibit, with works by Newburyport Art members, a Collector’s Collection, with pieces donated by local art collectors, and silent auction packages that include experiential packages, such as a luxury portrait session with Mallory Portraits, and items from local artists and businesses, such as a handmade charcuterie board package from Milestone 35 Tools & Woodworking, and selection of 5 new records from Dyno Records. Bidding can be done from anywhere in the world – and we offer shipping! The online auction can be viewed here: https://givebutter.com/c/art-of-giving/auction
