This June, Gallery Aferro celebrates all that is unique and exciting about the arts and community with our 11th annual benefit art auction and party unlike any other gala. MCs Justin Williams and Johann Chacko, DJ AJoya Angola Thompson, and surprise guests will take you away, to another world:

  • Delectable Refreshments, Strong Icy Cocktails and Roving Ice Cream Bar.
  • Music and Gratuitous Art Weirdness.
  • Cash Raffle and Epic Prizes Galore.

All proceeds support our nonprofit programs, including, but not even remotely limited to year-round exhibitions and public events, such as workshops, artist talks, and screenings; artist residencies including two new fellowships for parent-artists and women artists of color; publications; public art; educational offerings; collaborations; legacy work and curatorial stewardship for elder artists; and innovative, community-responsive projects.

More soon. So much more, actually. Art is magic. Find the Facebook event here.
