The Berkeley Art Center invites the Bay Area community to join in the celebration of its largest annual event - Collect! Held on Saturday, October 25 from 5-9 p.m., Collect! is a stunning exhibition and silent auction from some of the most exciting artists in the Bay Area today, including works by Katherine Westerhout, Claire Colette, Rhonda Holberton, Rupert Garcia, Squeak Carnwath, Lava Thomas, Richard Whittaker, Enrique Chagoya, and more.
In addition to the works in the silent auction, guests can enjoy food and drinks from local vendors and get ahead of the holiday shopping season at the pop-up shop, including pieces from students of the California College of the Arts. Fans of the 1970s Shrinky Dinks will be treated to an exhibition of the classic arts and crafts toy, presented by the Session Space Collective.
The VIP reception features bites from award-winning Boulevard Restaurant, wine from Narsai David Estates, one-on-one mingling with the donor artists, and the chance to place first bids on all items in Collect!
In advance of the auction, a special preview reception will be held on Saturday, October 18 from 5-8 p.m., allowing guests to get an early preview of the donated artwork and scout out potential pieces to purchase prior to the main event.
All proceeds will support the Berkeley Art Center's exhibitions and public programs. Funds from this year's event directly support year-round programming, including Programs for Young Artists at BAC. Sponsors for this year's event include Boulevard, Flying Noir Art + Chocolate, Freshly Cut Florist, Hugh Groman Catering, Narsai David Estates, Phil's Sliders, and The Cheese Board Collective.
