Annual 12x12 Exhibit and Auction Fundraiser

SFA's Friends of the Visual Arts' annual 12x12 Art Scholarship Fundraiser exhibit and auction, a community favorite, benefits scholarships for students in the School of Art. Each 12-by-12-inch work of art has been created and generously donated by SFA faculty members, students, alumni and local artists.

Oct. 29 to Nov. 9, 2024

"The 12x12 art party is one of our most exciting events of the year," said Kerry Whitsett, 12x12 chair. "The auction is the perfect opportunity to take home a one-of-a-kind masterpiece while simultaneously supporting SFA students — a win-win for any art lover."
