About this event
Celebrate the season with us at Visual Expressions: The Power of Storytelling — a one-night-only holiday art auction and fundraiser hosted by the American Advertising Federation San Francisco Bay Area (AAF SF Bay).
This festive evening brings together artists, students, and creative professionals for a night of bidding, community, and celebration. Guests will discover and bid on one-of-a-kind, story-driven works donated by Bay Area artists, spanning a wide variety of forms. Every piece tells a story — abstract, bold, or subtle — and all are alive with meaning.
Proceeds from the auction fund student awards in advertising, helping the next generation of storytellers gain recognition and encouragement. The event also supports local artists, who keep 40% of every sale, and sustains AAF SF Bay’s programming, which inspires and connects the Bay Area creative community.
✨ Expect an unforgettable night filled with:
- A festive holiday atmosphere
- Unique, story-driven art you can’t find anywhere else
- A lively community of artists, students, and professionals
- A cash bar and light food to keep the evening social
