The Trestle Art Benefit (TAB) is our annual fundraiser featuring a silent auction of over 50 artworks by local and national artists, specialty items, and tasty treats and refreshments provided by local businesses. This year’s goal is to raise $40,000 to continue to grow Trestle’s general programming, including Trestle Gallery Exhibitions, Art Talks & Events, opportunities for curators & artists, Trestle Artist Residency, Visiting Artist Residency, and Trestle Workshops.

The Trestle Art Benefit is an opportunity for us to reflect on, celebrate and promote the Trestle community! The artworks available in the silent auction include artists who have exhibited at Trestle, current and former artists-in-residence, and more. Traditionally, we honor one artist and one art world leader – we are pleased to announce that our Honorees for 2018 are both artists who double as leaders in the art world: Enrico Gomez and Sharon Louden.

Enjoy live music, custom cocktails, and mingling with participating artists and art world VIPs during the limited-access preview hour, 6-7:30 pm. A VIP ticket purchase grants you early access bidding in our silent auction & first choice artwork purchasing with our buy it now option. All VIP Ticket holders will receive an original work of artwork on paper with their ticket purchase!*
