ART IS A PRIORITY!: ANNUAL ART AUCTION

Silent Auction: February 13 – 27 at the Donkey Mill Art Center

Live Auctions: February 27

On View: February 3 – 26, 2021

Our 14th annual art auction “Art is a Priority!” will be safely held online, with works available to view at the Mill throughout the month of February.

During this extraordinary year, the importance of the arts has never been so clear. This year’s online art auction, Art is a Priority!, celebrates art as an essential component of our individual and collective well-being and health. Arts education develops the survival skills of creative problem-solving, empathy, collaboration and curiosity necessary to unite communities on a local, national and global scale. This year we invited 40 + artists, providing an extraordinarily diverse selection of art by established and emerging artists from Hawai’i and beyond.
