Levee Collective Living Art Auction

Levee Collective is pleased to announce our newest initiative, Living Art. Living Art confronts the idea that many galleries and art spaces are detached and peripheral where people only observe art outside of the context in which it was created. We aim to challenge this convention by taking art to the streets through public demonstrations, making it contemporary, accessible, and material, and by creating an exhibition space that is immersive, interactive, and tactile.

Living Art will debut with an art auction including work by Lexington artists, including Soreyda Benedit-Begley, Wylie Caudill,  Marco Logston, Lina Tharsing, Michael Wayne, and Laverne Zabielski. Bidding will occur online at zeffy.com. The auction goes live December 7th at 3:00 PM ET and ends December 15th at 11:00 PM ET. Two in-person viewings, Saturday, December 7th 3:00 to 5:00 PM & Sunday, December 15th 3:00 to 5:00 PM, are open to the public where those interested can view the works in person and meet the artists. 

Proceeds from the auction will be used to transform Levee’s front room into a professional exhibition space including installing track lighting, repairing and painting the walls and ceilings, creating outdoor signage, purchasing furniture, and raising funds to establish a financial buffer during this developmental phase. All donations are tax-deductible through Levee’s fiscal sponsor LexArts.
