SUPPORTERS

DEAR FRIENDS OF WPA,

We are so thrilled that for the first time in three years, we will be celebrating Collectors’ Night in-person! Finally, a chance to come together again. We’re looking forward to clinking glasses, delighting in the presence of the artworks in this catalog, and dancing the evening away.

We also look forward to honoring the artists in our community. WPA worked with hundreds of them throughout the pandemic on research-driven inquiries and experimental projects. Artists know uncertainty, and through dynamic workshops, screenings, conversations, and performances, they showed us how to care for each other, where to find beauty, and what can be accomplished when one perseveres. We are grateful to all of them for shining a light.

A pivotal moment at Collectors’ Night this year will be the opening of bidding for WPA’s 41st-annual benefit art auction, held on Artsy through June 17. The sale is overflowing with incredible artworks, many of which will be exhibited at Collectors’ Night for your exclusive viewing. Because artwork sales are split equally between the artists and WPA, when you commit to a piece, you are not only investing in a work that will bring you immeasurable joy, but also putting money directly in artists’ pockets and funding another year of exciting artist-organized projects at WPA.

Whether you are a corporate sponsor, a member of the host committee, a ticket buyer, an art purchaser, or an artist, we appreciate you being part of WPA’s community. Thank you for your support.

Warmly,

Brittany Bansak Co-Chair Nekisha Durrett Co-Chair
