Attend our annual Gala event! Join Groundwork Somerville to celebrate local greening initiatives and art in our community!

The auction will showcase art by local artists inspired by the contrasts and challenges of fostering green space and green thinking in our densely settled city.

Suggested Donation $50-$75.

There will be two rounds of bidding on art, so come early and bid on your favorite pieces!

Auction will end between 8 and 9pm, and art can be picked up that evening or can be held at the Groundwork Somerville office.

A buffet-style dinner will be provided. Tickets at the door.

We cannot wait to share this wonderful evening with you!

Groundwork Somerville has been lucky enough to receive art of various different media, including, but not limited to: pottery, photographs, paintings, ink drawings, and much more! Pricing ranges from low to high. Come one, come all -- There is something for everyone!
