About Our Auction
GALA CELEBRATION
12/14/2024 - 9:00pm at The People's Pint (more at the bottom!)
With over 100 original artworks valuing over $40,000, gift cards to local restaurants and businesses totaling over $800, and priceless items like YOUR OWN PORTRAIT, a song written JUST FOR YOU, a POP STAR MAKEOVER, or 2 hours of free games for you and 19 of your pals, this year's Gala Auction is crazier than ever before!
Since opening in 2017, we have hosted over 1,250 workshops, curated over 40 gallery shows, trained over 100 people in Riso printing, organized nearly a dozen community festivals, and rehomed countless boxes of art supplies.
Looky Here is raising $50,000 so that we can support and sustain our nonprofit and become eligible for larger capacity grants. With more funding, we would be able to pay our managing directors a living wage, hire a larger team, provide more robust scholarships for workshops, offer more free events, upgrade our facilities, host visiting artists, and sustain our mission of affordable arts for all.
goals:
$10,000 by September
$25,000 by November
$50,000 by 2025!
On October 16th, Looky Here hung a portion of our available artworks at the People's Pint and hosted a celebration of our new “Looky Beer” collaboration with the restaurant with trivia and prizes! Plus, for every pour of “Looky Beer," Looky Here earns $1!!!
The auction will close on December 14th, 2024 at 10:30pm on the night of our VICTORIAN SALOON THEMED GALA at the People’s Pint. The event will have Live Piano Karaoke, raffles, and special in-person live auctions starting at 9:00pm. You won’t want to miss it, but need not be present to BID!
And, don't miss our LOOKY HERE MAGAZINE: issue 3 release party at Looky Here on 12/7 at noon!
