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, benefiting 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 artists in our community. Funds raised are shared through our Bellows Grant Program, community outreach, and developing the future of arts in the neighborhood.

All proceeds from this event go toward funding the arts, arts education, arts programming, and individual artists 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.
We're thrilled to announce this year's honorary cochair is Land Grant. Thanks to co-founders, Adam Benner and Walt Keys, Land Grant has become a driving force in Franklinton for its commitment to community. They believe in supporting "our neighborhood, city, and state by putting in place formal measures and procedures to maximize our impact on our communities."
