Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and guests will enjoy an evening of art, live performances, and community engagement.

The auction offers a wide range of artwork and handcrafted items created by incarcerated artists, members of the PCAP Linkage Community, University of Michigan alumni, and local creatives. Proceeds from the exhibition are directed entirely to the artists.
