Jo Mueller Small Works Auction

March 7 - 29, 2024

Sharon & Lance Beshore Gallery

Good things do come in small packages. At Spiva Center for the Arts, those packages will measure 12”X12”, 9”X12”, or 6”X6” during the 27th annual Small Works Auction. Spiva member artists create works in all mediums then donate them to the auction. This exhibit is a great way not only to raise money to fund Spiva operations, but to offer exposure for the participating artists. We are honored that the participating artists choose to support Spiva through their donation.

For more information and to bid online, visit our Small Works Auction page. 

Sponsored by the Spiva Board of Governers
