Annual Art Auction & Community Picnic

Jul 16, 2022 11AM-4PM

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. All ages welcome!

An Anderson Ranch tradition for over 40 years, the Annual Art Auction & Community Picnic brings people together for an afternoon of fun and excitement. A silent auction features over 100 works of art by top contemporary artists. Alongside the auction are engaging activities for all ages, delicious picnic-style foods and live music. A fundraiser at heart, all proceeds from the day directly benefit Anderson Ranch educational programs.
