Charity Art Auction
Charity Art Auction
for ArtReach
In partnership with Mission Fed ArtWalk, ArtReach is thrilled to share its annual Charity Art Auction, benefitting visual arts education for youth in San Diego County. This auction is a highlight of ArtReach’s annual fundraising efforts, inviting artists to reimagine everyday items into remarkable, one-of-a-kind pieces. This celebration of creativity also expands visibility for participating artists while raising vital funds for youth arts programs.
While the auction takes place online and is open to anyone nationwide, ArtReach has partnered with ArtWalk since 2019 to showcase the art at their outdoor festivals. These events provide local and visiting attendees the opportunity to view the auction items in person and place bids in person.
This year, youth and adult artists have been invited to transform recycled vinyl records into bold, one-of-a-kind works of art for this fundraiser that supports creative expression and community impact, while helping make art accessible to young people across San Diego County. Each item has been transformed into a stunning work of art, featuring mediums such as paint, mosaic, gold foil, tape, and more.
The pieces will be available through an online auction starting April 19, 2026, and will be on public display at Mission Fed ArtWalk on April 25th & 26th at Booth 840 & 841 on India Street.
