FIRST FRIDAY | Hearts for the Arts

February is the month of love in action, and for the 16th year in a row Artisans & agency is proud to host For the Love of…, an art auction benefiting the Santa Cruz County Arts Council. Featuring works that honor people, places, ideas, and the arts themselves, the auction celebrates what moves us while giving back—100% of proceeds from donated artwork are contributed to the Arts Council to support arts education across Santa Cruz County. For the love of ART, visit Artisans & agency February 1–13 to place a bid and help expand access to creative education that inspires self-expression and discovery. Join us for the First Friday Reception on February 6 from 6–8pm. Bidding closes at 5pm on Friday, February 13, with winning purchases available for pickup during store hours immediately following the auction.
