OffCenter Arts Little Houses Auction
Friday, May 9, at FUSION, 5-8 p.m.
It’s almost time for our annual Little Houses Auction, an art exhibition and silent auction featuring over 150 miniature houses created by local artists! Held at FUSION this fundraiser event is a fun way to support OffCenter Arts!
Free. Live music, food, and a fantastic art exhibit of unique work by 150+ local artists of all ages!
Artists craft tiny tiny sculptures with wood, fabric, paper and ceramic for the auction. Featuring artists of all ages, Little Houses are created by established artists and some exhibiting for the first time.
(Pro tip: Little Houses - like all local art - make excellent gifts and this year's auction comes just two days before Mother's Day!)
