ArtReach is excited to announce our 2026 Annual Charity Art Auction! Youth and adult artists have been invited to transform recycled vinyl records into bold, one-of-a-kind works of art for this fundraiser that supports creative expression and community impact, while helping make art accessible to young people across San Diego County. This special project brings together creativity, community, and giving. Selected artworks will be featured in an online charity auction and exhibited in person at the 42nd Annual Mission Fed ArtWalk, with proceeds supporting both the participating artists and ArtReach’s free and low-cost visual arts programs for youth and families. The pieces will be available through an online auction starting April 19, 2025, and will be on public display at Mission Fed ArtWalk on April 25t & 26 at Booths 840 & 841 on India Street. While the auction takes place online and is open to anyone nationwide, ArtReach has partnered with ArtWalk since 2019 to showcase the art at their outdoor festivals. These events provide local and visiting attendees the opportunity to view the auction items in person and place bids in person.
