The 2018 Verge Art Auction
November 17, 2018
Presented by west elm
Verge Center for the Arts and presenting sponsor, west elm, threw an unforgettable party celebrating Sacramento talent and California’s unique contemporary arts.
With light installation & music by Alex Trujillo, food by Beast & Bounty, centerpieces by Public Land, additional bar brews courtesy of Lagunitas Brewing Company, and the first ever custom Verge cocktail courtesy of Fords Gin, it definitely proved to be a great evening!
Verge events are known for their unusual themes and unequaled experiences and are a part of a cultural movement in Sacramento that helps maintain local talent while attracting national attention.
The Verge Art Auction spotlights emerging and established artists and gives new collectors the opportunity to start their own collections, and savvy collectors the chance to grab pieces by renowned artists and to discover new talent.
