This spring the Escondido Arts Partnership is having the much anticipated annual fundraiser Panache, an art auction of fine artworks donated by regional artists as well as a signed lithograph "Noah's Animals" (1996) by Niki de Saint Phalle, a generous donation from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Panache, is an uplifting gala celebration of your local art scene. The gala event on March 28, 2026 brings artists, collectors and the community together to support the arts programs at the Escondido Arts Partnership. The highlight of this exciting event will be the silent and live art auctions with Auctioneer Eric Lehew, along with appetizers, mocktails, hosted bar, and unique entertainment.
