Plains Art Museum is proud to host 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 and support the livelihoods of artists and your art museum as well. This exhibition includes dozens of 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 and PlainsArt4All access to your museum’s exhibitions and programs.
