Art for Arf's Sake Auction

What is Art for Arf’s Sake?

For over twenty years, Art for Arf’s Sake Auction has been the region’s premier arts fundraising event. Each year hundreds of artists, attendees, patrons, and sponsors support the event. Art for Arf’s Sake combines live, silent, and online auctions featuring original art, travel, memorabilia, and more. Artists that support this event are locally, nationally, and internationally recognized. Over 200 people attend the annually themed auction in person and hundreds more participate online.

Since 2005, Arf’s Art has brought together the talent of artists and the generosity of animal lovers to raise nearly $2 million in support of groundbreaking life-saving programs and services helping animals and people in our communities! This work has changed the way animal welfare is done. Original programs that were once viewed as radical, dare we say “anarchy in the HPA”, are now the top 40 hits in animal shelters nationwide.
