The ICA Annual Fall Art Auction is always eagerly anticipated in the South Bay for its exceptional pieces by some of the most talented artists in the Bay Area. The contributions come from the region's most significant established artists and hottest emerging artists and reflect the most current and up-and-coming trends of art-making. This year's event also provides a preview into what the ICA's newly acquired building has to offer. It is the perfect opportunity for patrons to expand their collections as the ICA expands its facility.

The annual auction benefits the ICA's on-going exhibition and educational programming. Currently, we host over 18 exhibitions annually. With our new building we will be able to expand our exhibition space and increase the exposure of cutting edge art. The auction proceeds will allow the ICA to continue to bring art in the future tense to the Bay Area and beyond.

The doors open at 6:00 pm on auction night, and the live auction begins at 7:00 pm. To fuel the eager and passionate bidding, there will be champagne and hors d'oeuvres donated by some of San Jose's finest restaurants. Savory gourmet fare from Aqui, Bella Mia, Café Primavera Catering, E & O Trading Company, Eulipia, Hawg's Seafood Bar, Il Fornaio, Paolo's Restaurant, Paragon, P.F. Changs and others will be served along with complimentary champagne and local wines.

Auction tickets are $35 for ICA Members and $45 for non-members. As always, a 20% discount applies on tickets purchased before October 28th. Consider upgrading your membership level - our $120 Investor level members and above receive 2 free tickets! All proceeds benefit the ICA's ongoing exhibition and educational programming. Call (408) 283-8155 for tickets today.

We looking forward to seeing you there!
