We are pleased to announce that the Garrison Art Center is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a live auction called "The Next 60". The auction looks back at our history and forward to our role as an art center in the Hudson River Valley. It will feature 60 works that have been inspired by the natural and constructed wonders of the Hudson Valley and will include sculptures, paintings, ceramics, drawings, and more. As an organization that takes pride in encouraging local artists to find inspiration in our region, we are thrilled to host this event. 

 

The preview of the artwork in the gallery will start at 3 pm, and guests can enjoy refreshments while perusing the work. The Live Auction, led by Nicholas Lowry from Swann Auction Galleries and Antiques Roadshow, will begin at 5 pm. It is going to take place in a spacious tent on the beautiful Hudson River banks.

 

Our goal is to raise $20,000 through this auction, which serves as our largest annual fundraiser. As a non-profit art center, we believe in art for all and the future of visual art and culture in the region. Our mission is to cultivate an open environment for the creation and appreciation of art. 

 

Tickets for the auction cost $25, which includes admission to the viewing and reception, wine, hors d'oeuvres, a bidding paddle, and access to the auction tent.

 

We invite you to support our mission by buying tickets, donating, or spreading the word. We hope to see you at the event!
