From its very beginnings, artists have created art in Franklinton to beautify the community. Painted panels adorned abandoned buildings, enhancing the urban landscape with art. Art for Franklinton has become a way for us to utilize the creation of these panels for the benefit of the community's creatives.
Art for Franklinton, benefitting the Franklinton Arts District, is an exciting art auction fundraiser featuring extraordinary artwork created at the annual SCRAWL event in Franklinton. The event brings art collectors, community leaders, artists, and people from all walks of life together to bid on the jury-selected pieces. This important event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Franklinton Arts District and continues to have a remarkable impact on Franklinton and countless creatives in our community. Funds raised are shared through our Bellows Award Program, community outreach, placemaking, and developing the future of arts in the neighborhood.
Artists in this year's auction include: Abby Elise Baker, Allison McGovney, Anahita Sharma, Andy Clarkson, Ash D. Pierce, Ayuka Shichinohe, Brandon Doup, Chris Cropper, Daniel Rona, Daniel Painter, David Denniston and Katie Golonka, Elijah Kleman, Henry Hess, Jaylen Fultz, Jennifer Morely, Joel Jackson, Liz Ecklar, Madison Perry, Mona Isa, Monster Steve, Panagiota Kourniotis, Paul Giovis and Craig Dansfield, Rebecca O'Neil, Rob Jones and Dan Gerdeman, Ron Arps, Soap Reza, Sophia Peck, Stew Reber, the Groovy Girls, Tim Switalski and Quill Kolat.
All proceeds from this event go toward funding the arts, arts education, arts programming, and community events in Franklinton. The Franklinton Arts District is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization. As such, a portion of all auction sales may be tax-deductible.
