On March 13th, Free Arts NYC will hold its annual art auction on Artsy to support arts education and youth mentoring in underserved communities. Now in its 27th year, the event features artwork by Elizabeth Glaessner, Katherine Bradford and Christopher Wool. Without a title (2009) is the auction’s most valuable lot, with bids starting at $400,000.
Each year, the auction supports 1,500 young people between the ages of 5 and 23 in partnership with more than 30 schools, community centers and transitional housing centers. A silent auction is being held at Artsy in conjunction with the live event, and lots will begin closing on March 14th at 12pm EST.
