Black & White Affair Online Art Auction 2022

The 21st annual Black & White Affair benefiting Studio 23/The Arts Center is a fundraising tradition that is known for the high quality art auction and gallery showcase for regional artists. The virtual art auction launches at noon on Saturday, November 26, 2022 and bidding ends on Friday, December 9, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. During this time art lovers can bid on auction items or buy certain items immediately from our "Buy It Now" selections. Bidding is easy to do online. Please register on this website. We are honored to have so many local artists donate select artworks for our auction and we are happy that in addition we can spotlight one of their gallery items for sell as well. We thank the artists for donating, as it is the same as writing a check! Show your support for artists by bidding often and generously.

This year’s fundraiser will be held on Friday, December 9th. Tickets and sponsorships are available for this night of drinks, h'ordeuvres, and live music. For more information please go to our website or call Studio 23 at 989-894-2323 to purchase dinner tickets.

The Black & White Affair is a great opportunity for us to showcase our gallery space, promote local artists and businesses, and, most importantly, raise funds to support our mission of making the arts available and accessible to all in our community. Thank you for your support and we look forward to following your auction bids!
