The Glassell School of Art Benefit & Auction
Friday, May 10, 2024
Glassell School of Art, 5101 Montrose Boulevard
This not-to-be-missed fundraiser celebrates the entire Glassell School of Art community. The annual event features cocktails, a seated dinner, and the main attraction: the silent auction of art created by Glassell students, faculty, and more. Proceeds from the event provide critical support for the students, faculty, and day-to-day operations and help to maintain the wide array of courses that have made the Glassell School such an asset to the community.
