Stroll Through the Arts Gala Online Auction 2021

Each year, Chautauqua Visual Arts hosts our annual Strohl Through the Arts Gala at Strohl Arts Center. Our primary mission through this fundraising event is to provide scholarships for the 2022 participants of our Chautauqua School of Art Residency Program. For the past three years, we are very pleased to share that every attendee has been offered a scholarship, with the help of this event! This makes our CVA School of Art Residency Program not only competitive, but one of the most equitable in the country, as students are accepted based on their talent and potential! In addition to the scholarship donations, the 28 auction items are entirely comprised of artwork by artists who have previously exhibited in our galleries. All artists, unless they wished to make a donation, will receive a commission, so you will be supporting them as well as our 2022 School of Art Participants!

Chautauqua Visual Arts is a place for learning, experiencing, and sharing centered on four pillars: School of Art, Galleries, Lecture Series, and Events & Enrichment. The School is an incubator of inclusive and expansive programming in the visual arts composed of workshops and one-on-one time with mentors covering all media. The Galleries and outdoor Sculpture Garden focus on an array of diverse contemporary exhibitions, created by some of the most outstanding visual artists working today. Chautauqua Visual Arts also hosts a weekly public Lecture Series of profound thought leaders in the visual arts from all over the world, and our Enrichment Classes include many offerings for every age, skill and experience level and a place to share our resources for further learning.
