‍InLiquid’s annual benefit and art auction is a two-week-long celebration of creativity, creators, and collectors.  Culminating in an online auction of contemporary works of art by more than 200 local artists who work across all media. Unlike many charity auctions, the proceeds from March for Art are split evenly between InLiquid and the participating artists as a way of directly supporting the artists. Collectors can discover new works while giving back across the creative economy.
