DESCRIPTION:Collect art, support arts education, & be inspired by artists at Root 
 Division's largest annual fundraising event on Thursday, October 21!\n\nAs 
 you can imagine, we are reinventing our annual Auction festivities yet 
 again. Join us this year for a dynamic event featuring artwork installed in 
 Root Division’s gallery, a continuation of online bidding, and an 
 entertaining hybrid event. We are proud to feature an eclectic mix of high 
 quality artwork from over 100 established and emerging Bay Area artists, 
 including plenty of shining and rising stars! Alongside that we’ve also 
 got a stellar line up of gallery partners and local businesses rounding out 
 this incredible occasion. This year the party is virtual but the community 
 connections are as real as they come. \nSpecial features of being a VIP 
 include: access to exclusive virtual experiences, a full color printed 
 auction catalog, a limited-edition artist designed tote filled with goodies 
 and gifts, and  special access to an In-Person Collector’s Preview on 
 October 12.  Host level guests receive all of the above, plus door-to-door 
 delivery of custom made cocktails and tasty eats.\n\nProceeds from the 
 auction directly benefit local artists, provide free art classes for Bay 
 Area youth, and ensure the continued success of Root Division's unique 
 model for keeping artists working at the heart of San Francisco.\n\nRoot 
 Division is a visual arts ecosystem where artists receive subsidized studio 
 space in exchange for service to the community. Each artist in our program 
 volunteers towards teaching art to youth and adults as well as coordinating 
 free public programming. We are committed to continuing the tradition of 
 supporting excellence and accessibility in the visual arts, and cannot do 
 it without community support!  \nTICKETS:\nHost Level: 	Starting at
