Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) is thrilled to present HIGH FREQUENCY: a Benefit Auction in support of Artists and WPA, hosted online in partnership with Artsy.
HIGH FREQUENCY, which replaces Collectors’ Night this year, will offer an amazing selection of artworks by artists in the DC area and beyond. We invite you to browse the digital catalog here. As always, 50% of sale proceeds will go directly to the participating artists, and the other 50% will provide crucial operating support to WPA, enabling us to continue producing artist-driven programs throughout the year.
HIGH FREQUENCY has been rescheduled to open on Thursday, July 30 at 6:30 pm and bidding will run until the auction closes at 6:30 pm on Thursday, August 13. You can register to bid on Artsy one week before the auction opens. The link to our sale on Artsy will be posted here at that time.
Please join us for a VIRTUAL KICKOFF PARTY on Thursday, July 30 from 6-6:30 pm to celebrate the opening of the HIGH FREQUENCY auction! RSVP here.
Thank you for your support, your auction purchase will help sustain WPA and artists during this uncertain time.
