Burien Arts Vision Benefit Gala for 2025: ARTvant-garde

WHAT: The Vision Gala is our annual benefit art show/sale gala with food, wine, and live music. This year we are adding a fashion show to the mix. Wear your best costume or fanciest dress outfit! You are part of the show! The more outrageous, the better!

Proceeds will support our no cost/low cost events as part of our mission to bring quality, affordable art experiences to our community.

Artists

Artists handle all sales. Burien Arts is not asking a commission on sales, but rental of a tower side:

Artwork must be the artist’s own original work in any medium and size as long as it can fit on a 2′ x 6′ display tower side. Burien Arts is not curating the works. We will have 18 display towers available, each with four sides measuring 2′ x 6′. One artist can rent a maximum of two sides.

• Rental of one side: $50
• Rental of two sides: $100
