Art Auction Preview

Jane L. Stern Gallery

Every year, Plains Art Museum hosts one of the region’s finest art auctions in conjunction with our Spring Gala. The auction is not only a great exhibition of contemporary art, but is your chance to build a collection, support the livelihoods of artists, and support your art museum. This exhibition includes 92 diverse, original artworks made by some of the most talented and prolific contemporary artists from around the region. Artworks represented encompass a wide range of artistic expressions and price points. The proceeds from this auction will support both the artists as well as the Museum’s many educational programs and our PlainsArt4All General Fund to keep the Museum general admission free.
