Dignify the Displaced - An Art Auction

We are so happy to invite you to the third annual Dignify the Displaced Art Auction, hosted by our friends at Rice University in the brand-new William T. Cannady Hall.

There will be amazing art for sale. Free food and drinks. Live Music. A ton of fun in support of Every Shelter’s mission.


We could not be more excited to host this event with Rice, where Every Shelter was first born.

Year after year, artists from across Houston, Texas, and the world have come together to offer their beautiful work for auction in support of our mission. And you, our Every Shelter friends, have come out in force to make this night a blast. Last year, we sold over 85% of the art. Let’s do it again. We will be publishing the art catalog soon!


Frequently asked questions

What does Every Shelter Do?

Over 100 million people are displaced. The average duration of displacement is over 20 years long. We design shelter solutions for refugees and displaced families so they can create a home for that duration.

How will the donated proceeds be used?

In short, Every Shelter is using the proceeds to help build and support our refugee-centric ecosystem in Uganda – Shelter WorkShop | Shelter Depot | Shelter Goods – a refugee relief model led by refugees at every level.

How will bids be taken over the course of the evening?

ZGIVE is a secure and reliable online bidding platform that allows bidders to submit their bids from anywhere in the world. The platform provides real-time updates on bidding activity and allows for easy management of bids.

Do I have to be actively giving to Every Shelter to attend?

No, you do not have to actively give to Every Shelter to attend the art auction event. Every Shelter welcomes anyone who is interested in supporting its mission to attend the event and participate in the auction.

Where can I find out what will be for sale?

Every Shelter will release a catalog of pieces two weeks before the date and will circulate this catalog to everyone on the RSVP list.

How much do tickets cost to attend?

Thanks in large part to generous sponsors like you, we are able to extend free admission, free food, and free craft cocktails to this event.
