On May 9, Garrison Art Center will proudly present Hidden In Plein Sight: Our Hudson Valley, a live auction celebrating contemporary artists and the Hudson Valley’s distinctive landscape. This annual event will showcase more than 40 works across a range of 2D mediums, sparking dialogue between the region’s natural environment and its creative community.

​

Guests will enjoy a gallery preview with refreshments before the live auction, led by Nicholas Lowry of Swann Auction Galleries and Antiques Roadshow, set against Garrison Art Center’s scenic riverside backdrop. As our largest annual fundraiser, Hidden In Plein Sight aims to raise $40,000 in support of our mission to make art accessible and to sustain a vibrant, inclusive arts community. Proceeds directly support our exhibitions and educational programs.

“This year’s auction celebrates the deep connections between art, the Hudson Valley, and the creative spirit of our community,” said Catherine Graham, Executive Director of GAC. “More than a showcase of the extraordinary work of local artists, this event is a crucial fundraiser that sustains our year-round programming. We invite everyone to support our mission by attending, donating, or simply spreading the word about this exciting celebration of art and community.”

​

In addition to the incredible art up for auction, we’re excited to offer a raffle featuring some truly special prizes. Try your luck at winning a one-year Explore membership to the Museum of Modern Art or a private tour for two of MANITOGA / The Russel Wright Design Center.

 

Everyone is welcome to attend! Tickets are $25 and include admission to the viewing reception and auction, wine, hors d'oeuvres, a bidding paddle, and access to the elegant auction tent.
