8th Annual 6x6 PROJECT Art Auction & Fundraiser
Call for artists of all ages and skill levels to create 6x6 inch artwork supporting arts education programs serving 20,000+ students annually.
Raue Center For The Arts announces a Call for Artists for the 8th Annual 6x6 PROJECT Art Auction & Fundraiser, a popular community-driven celebration of creativity. This opportunity invites artists of all ages and skill levels to participate in a project that supports arts education programs serving more than 20,000 students annually.
Artists can pick up blank 6x6 inch canvases starting January 5, 2026, with completed artwork due back by May 15, 2026. Each canvas is available for a $5 donation, and artists are eligible to receive up to two canvases. New this year, artists are encouraged to complete an online registration form in advance to streamline the canvas pickup process.
Canvases can be picked up at multiple locations throughout the region including Abalabix Books, Creative Arts Inc., Mainstreet Art Center, Material Things, Piano Trends, Raue Center Box Office, and Reprographics.
Participating artwork will be exhibited in one of two divisions: the Main Gallery or Kids' Gallery (ages 12 and under). Awards will be presented in both divisions, including 1st–3rd Place jury-selected awards and a People's Choice Award chosen by the public. All submitted artwork will be featured in an online auction with bidding opening June 13, 2026.
The project culminates with a free public reception at Raue Center For The Arts on Friday, June 27, 2026, from 5:30–8:00 p.m., celebrating participating artists and announcing award recipients.
