Ah Haa's 16th Annual Silent & Live Art Auction
July 25, Silent Auction Opens at 5 p.m.; Live Auction Begins at 7:30 p.m., at the Ah Haa School
Tickets $20, Available at the Door or Telluride Ticket
Our annual fundraiser is a don’t-miss summer event known for an amazing array of art objects, trips and services in the silent auction,
complimented with equally fantastic art, trips and funky theme-inspired items in the fast-paced live auction. Each year we put many hours of thought into conceiving a theme for our annual event. This year after many of Ah Haa’s friends returned from India with amazing stories and pictures of this bright and beautiful culture we thought it would be exciting to bring the essence of India to
Telluride. So on July 25th get ready for a Passport to India, which will include the sites, sounds, tastes and of course great ART inspired by this mysterious country. Monies raised from our annual auction support the Ah Haa School’s educational program costs including scholarships, supplies and
equipment, instructors, visiting artists and more.
