InLiquid’s annual benefit and art auction is a two-week long celebration of creativity, creators, and collectors, which features an online auction of contemporary works by over 200 local artists who work across all media. March for Art distinguishes itself from typical charity auctions through its equitable approach in which proceeds are divided equally between InLiquid and participating artists, providing direct support to artists. This structure allows collectors to discover new work while contributing meaningfully to the creative economy.
