The InLiquid Benefit: Artists Submissions

Join InLiquid in kicking off our 25th Anniversary Celebration at our annual fundraiser - The Benefit!

Celebrate contemporary art, design, and craft with The InLiquid Silent Auction and Benefit, spanning two weeks with multiple parties and events to view the works up close! This much-anticipated event is an annual showcase for exceptional contemporary art!

To have your artwork featured at the event, complete the submission form below on this page.

InLiquid’s Silent Auction & Benefit, March 9 – 23, 2024

The Benefit  will feature 200+ works of art for public viewing at the Crane Arts Building in South Kensington and online for maximum accessibility.

InLiquid will host a series of events to make a wide range of opportunities that engage the area’s collectors, curators, designers, press, influencers, and entrepreneurs to create exposure and opportunities for the included artists, businesses, and sponsors, and support InLiquid’s mission.

Year-round, InLiquid is dedicated to supporting the careers of local artists, and our annual Benefit is when InLiquid asks for that same sustaining support from our broader community.

Funds from The Benefit directly support our organization throughout the year, providing free arts programming to over 25,000 people in person and over 200,000 unique web visitors annually. In 2022, InLiquid worked with over 700 artists to advance their careers and present their work to new audiences with free art exhibitions, hands-on workshops, and creative events in person and online. 

InLiquid will be screening all artwork submissions. Included artists will receive 50% of the final bid on their piece, with an option to donate more of the proceeds to help support InLiquid’s exhibitions, programming, and services.

Help us support InLiquid and celebrate another year of artistic services and programming!

Submissions can be done using the online form below or on paper using the attached pdf.

We hope you will join us in supporting you and serving the region’s artists!

If you have any questions about the 2024 Benefit or submission procedures, please contact Sara Zimmerman, saraz@inliquid.org, or 215-235-3405.
