About Our Auction
ART OPENING/BEER RELEASE/TRIVIA! - On October 16th at 8:00 we will hang a portion of our available artworks at the People's Pint and host a celebration of our new “Looky Beer” collaboration with the restaurant. Join us for TRVIA with prizes!! Plus, every pour of “Looky Beer," earns Looky Here $1!!!
The auction will close at 10:30pm on the night of our VICTORIAN SALOON THEMED GALA at the People’s Pint, December 14th, 2024. 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 win!
This year, our fundraising goal is $50,000. 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 has been largely volunteer-run since its inception. Although we started our Looky Here journey nearly 8 years ago, we are raising $50,000 as part of a start-up fund 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 minimum 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!
