Time for Art
May 15, 2024 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Join us for our United Way Time for Art silent art auction. This is a special event hosted by Young Leaders United is filled with local art, live music, light snacks and so much more.
Throughout the evening you will stroll through our art gallery filled with donated local artwork. Each piece will be available for you to take home through a silent auction-style bidding process.
But here's the twist: You will be bidding with your time!
Your volunteer hours are the currency for the evening and you will write down the number of volunteer hours you are willing to complete to buy the piece of art you are interested in. The highest bidder is the winner and receives the artwork!
You will have one year to complete your volunteer hours, tracked through United Way. Upon completion of your hours, you will bring home your art.
Join us:
Wednesday, May 15, from 5 – 7 p.m.
at Gnarly Bard Theater
804 West Saint Germain Street, St. Cloud
This event is free to attend but we will be accepting a good will offering.
