YNY Silent Auction

Spruce up your art collection—and get a buzz while you're at it—for a good cause! Young New Yorkers Silent Art Auction, which honors Shepard Fairey and dozens of prolific international street artists, invites you to bid on more than 100 pieces of contemporary artwork by socially-conscious urban artists. All of the proceeds go directly toward Young New Yorkers—an arts-based program, which helps court-involved youngsters dismiss their criminal records. A ticket ($40) gets you complimentary beer from Sixpoint Brewery, vodka cocktails as well as hors d'oeuvres and cupcakes, while you mentally plot where to display your new painting or sculpture.
