Last Friday’s Shifting Perspectives Artist Reception at was an incredible success! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the artists, connect with community, and help launch this year’s auction. ✨️

The evening marked the kickoff of our online auction featuring seven one-of-a-kind, 1/6 scale Lambretta Diecast scooters transformed by local artists. We’re excited to share that 's scooter was already purchased during the reception! 🎉

There’s still time to bid on the remaining works. The auction is open now through midnight on Sunday, May 24. Proceeds support artists and creative programming in our community. 🎨
