What is Mystery Art?

Mystery Art is an annual exhibit and auction of works by local and regional artists of all levels.

  1. An annual exhibit and auction by local and regional artists of all ages and levels.
  2. Funds raised by Mystery Art support our Artist and Education programming throughout the year.
  3. Artwork is donated by the artist and their name is hidden during the exhibit: it’s a mystery!
  4. Artwork is displayed in the North Light Gallery for 3 weeks.
  5. Awards are given at the beginning of the exhibit.
  6. Artwork is available for purchase through our online Silent Auction.
  7. Artwork awarded a cash prize is automatically entered in the end-of-exhibit Live Auction.
This year’s Mystery Art exhibit runs October 5 through October 24, 2024.
