Benefit Auctions in Humboldt County, California

Yearly Calendar of Nonprofit/Benefit Auctions and Art Events that Artists can Donate to:

Arcata Artisans is compiling a list of nonprofit/benefit auctions in Humboldt County. Some of the auctions are on a one-time only basis and others are yearly events. As information comes in we will be able to arrange it accordingly. A list of auctions will be helpful to artists as well as event planners to determine giving, deadlines, and event dates.

Arcata Artisans Cooperative members will each select choices and the top eight receiving the most votes will be awarded with a fifty dollar gift certificate from the coop. This will be a yearly process. We are reserving spaces for additional choices should a new benefit arise that the coop members want to include in the yearly giving plan. The plan includes the option of a total of 12 awards yearly.

Auction sponsors are encouraged to contact us with information and details and request for this list.
