Exhibit and Auction celebrating artists of all types

WHAT IS MYSTERY ART?

• Mystery Art is an annual exhibit and auction of works by local and regional artists of all levels.

• Artwork is donated by the artist and their name is hidden and becomes a mystery.

• On the first day of the exhibit artwork is judged and awards are given.

• Artwork is displayed in the NorthLight Gallery for 3 weeks.

• Artwork is auctioned throughout the event with a Final Auction Night celebration Friday, October 22.
