Colorìto Annual Art Auction

Celebrate Colorìto, the essence of the Venetian Renaissance.

Colorìto (koh-loh-REE-to) is an Italian term from the Venetian Renaissance that celebrates the expressive power of color, light, and atmosphere. While artists in Florence emphasized precise drawing, Venetian masters believed color could evoke emotion, create movement, and bring paintings to life. This year's Art Auction embraces that spirit with an evening inspired by the beauty, elegance, and artistry of Venice. Guests are invited to add to the festive atmosphere by wearing a Venetian mask, if they wish, and join us for a celebration where art, color, and creativity take center stage. Dress: Casual Elegance.

By joining us, you’re supporting the Anderson Arts Center’s mission. Funds raised from the event will support programming, exhibitions, and educational initiatives that benefit the community. Supporting the arts is essential for fostering creativity, expression, and cultural enrichment, making events like the Annual Art Auction vital for the continued success of the Anderson Arts Center.
