Arizona-based Scottsdale Artists’ School will host its annual Beaux Arts fundraiser in a virtual format for the first time this November. Traditionally a one-day gala, the event will shift to a weeklong celebration that includes all the bells and whistles of the original show—and more. The event will take place November 7 through 14, with many chances for collectors to bid on artwork as they traditionally have and interact with instructors and students of the school.

On November 7 at noon, Arizona time, collectors can start their bidding for the online silent auction of artwork as well as its trips and treasures packages. Included in the silent auction is this year’s signature painting, Navajo Cliffs by William Hook. Sandy Scott will return as the Raffle Artist with her limited-edition bronze Cat Goddess up for grabs. Collectors can purchase raffle tickets to win this work that measures 18 inches high.
Since the event is held online this year, it will be open to patrons worldwide through the Scottsdale Artists’ School website, Facebook and Instagram. Throughout the seven days, artists, students, instructors and supporters can check all platforms for artist interviews, demonstrations, studio tours, door prizes, instructor tips and more.

To conclude this year’s Beaux Arts, Scottsdale Artists’ School will host a virtual wrap party on November 14 live on Facebook and YouTube at 7 p.m. This will include close-up views of all the artwork that was available throughout the week, interviews, prizes and the announcement of the raffle winner.
Beginning in October, collectors can head over to the school’s social media pages for sign-up instructions, a list of virtual activities and information on the bidding system. —
