Ah Haa Annual Art Auction

The Ah Haa School for the Arts 29th Annual Art Auction returns this year as the Ah Haa moves into their new home at the Silver Jack Building in the Telluride Arts District. Because Ah Haa wants to make this annual tradition available to everyone, regardless of where you might be this summer, the Art Auction will once again be online, offering two weeks of virtual bidding on a fun and fantastic array of art, experiences, and opportunities. Your active participation will help raise critical funds to help Ah Haa School for the Arts continue to nourish the creative spirit through classes, workshops, programs, and events for people of all ages in our community. You may sign up for a paddle online at : https://events.handbid.com/auctions/2021-ah-haa-art-auction/ Bidding begins at 12 pm mst on Friday July 16th 2021 and ends at 12 pm mst on Saturday August 7th 2021. Please contact Kathleen Cole at if you have any questions. Artwork will be displayed at the Silver Jack building and all are invited on Art Walk night Thursday August 5th from 5-8 pm to view the art. OUR GOAL THIS YEAR IS $200,000 TO SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SO THAT OUR CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.  Your support this year will be especially impactful as we move from 18 months of closure and reduced programming to a bright new future of possibilities including our commitment to provide access and opportunity to young people regardless of financial circumstances. We turn to the arts for comfort, hope, inspiration and connection. Making art gives us a vision for how to move forward during challenging times, serving as a mirror to reflect and respond to what is challenging, what is confusing, and what is beautiful. With your help, Ah Haa School for the Arts can carry the creative torch that will help our community heal, grow and persevere. The generosity of our patrons is what will make this possible. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all those making this event possible – Artists, Donors, Staff, Board, Trustees and Volunteers. And an EXTRA SPECIAL THANK YOU to our title sponsors, Alpine Bank & Slate Gray Gallery. WE LOVE YOU!!!
