The Penland School of Craft Annual Benefit Auction is the premiere craft auction in the southeast, providing funds to support the operations of Penland School of Craft while introducing new artists to collectors and expanding public understanding and awareness of craft.

Entering its 34th year in 2019, the auction attracts over 800 collectors and volunteers to the Penland campus in the mountains of North Carolina each August. The weekend brings artists and patrons together and provides collectors with opportunities to meet established and emerging artists, learn about trends in contemporary craft, and see and purchase exceptional new work. If you are passionate about art and interested in investing in the health and the future of the arts, join us for this gala event.
