Please join us for an evening of engaging artwork, enjoyable company, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres at a silent auction at Saffronart Gallery. After a landmark 15th anniversary in 2012, featuring the retrospective exhibition Her Stories at the Queens Museum of Art, and an outstanding performance, SUBLIME, at the Dumbo Arts Festival this year, this silent auction will raise funds to sustain SAWCC’s exciting future programming. Your contribution and participation will help continue the growth of the organization as we move beyond our 16th year. SAWCC would like to thank you for your continued support!
