2021 Benefit Art Auction and Concert

Benefit Art Auction, 5:30–9:15 PM
Xiu Xiu | Live @ LOW END, Doors 9:30 PM

Join us in celebrating Bemis Center’s 40th birthday at Omaha’s largest and most beloved celebration of contemporary art! More than 200 local, regional, and national artists participate in the Auction, choosing between 50-100% commission on the sale of their works. All other proceeds are reinvested into Bemis Center’s three core programs—Residency, Exhibitions, and Public Programs—that infuse our region with new art and ideas year-round through a regular schedule of free programming.

This year, with an expanded footprint to include outside food and beverage service, mobile bidding, and live music at LOW END, Bemis Center's music venue, we aim to maintain social distancing and bring our community together for a celebration that raises critical resources for Bemis and participating artists.

The Benefit Art Auction Exhibition is on view at Bemis Center from October 15–29, free to the public. Buy It Now available from October 1–29. Bidding begins on October 29 at 5:30 PM.
