May 30, 2026 · 11 AM – 4 PM
Curated by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and the CSOL. Bidding on auction pieces closes at 3:00 PM.
These don't follow the schedule. They're open from the moment doors open until the event ends.
Auction theme · Harmony
Twenty-one Charleston-area artists, each piece interpreted through harmony. Half of every sale goes to the artist; the rest funds CSOL scholarships and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
Live art competition
Two slots, blank canvas to finished work in an hour, judged by our two guest judges. Finished pieces join the auction at the end of the day.
