We’re still feeling the excitement from our Fifth Annual Benefit Art Auction! It was a remarkable celebration of art, community, and 25 years of McColl Center. Supporters from near and far came together to honor our mission and legacy, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. With over 300 attendees and 61 participating artists across our Silent and Live Auctions, the energy was undeniable, and amazing works found new homes.
Because of your generosity, we raised an outstanding $214,300, making this our most impactful auction to date. An incredible 56 works sold, with $35,225 going directly to artists and a record-breaking $53,850 in paddle raise contributions, supporting artist residencies, artist condo renovations, youth arts programs, and creative workshops. The collective support for artists was inspiring, and we are truly grateful.
To our participating artists, sponsors, and every guest who raised a paddle, placed a bid, or showed up in support, thank you. Your generosity directly fuels our mission and strengthens Charlotte’s creative community.
Electric Energy, Incredible Impact! All Thanks to our amazing community!
