Soirée Friday, June 19 - Exhibition to follow

*please note date change

Join us for our first Bay of Secrets Soirée and Exhibition!

60 local artists have created works of art to please your eye - but we won't tell you who made what. Attend the Soirée and match each masked artist to their work for a chance to win prizes. Buy your favorite canvas for $100 or bid in our silent auction of pieces made by masters.

The Bay of Secrets Soirée is a ticketed event. Tickets are $20 each and are on sale now. Members will enjoy a half hour preview at 5:30 before the doors open to other ticketed guests at 6:00.

The silent auction will close and art/artist match winners be announced at 7:30.

Volunteer to help with this fun event here.

All proceeds from ticket and artwork sales go directly to Bay School programs such as Summer Art Camp and OpenArts After School. This event is sponsored by RAW Art. Thank you for your support!
