Art Auction XXVII kicked off on April 25, as more than 150 local artists donated their work to benefit the All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation. Held at the Fullerton Community Center, the popular annual event drew a large crowd. Attendees were met with an expansive variety of artwork and a well-received food spread. Nearly 30 sponsors and numerous volunteers supported the event, contributing to its polished and elegant atmosphere.

The foundation’s mission is to champion arts education for every child in the Fullerton School District and the broader community.
The momentum continued with the Love Blocks Out Hate art show and fundraiser at the Fullerton Museum Center on May 1 at 5:30pm. Local artists created works on 6-by-6-inch plywood blocks, using a wide range of materials—from paint and wood to metal, beads, carvings, and even bread.
The pieces were offered through a silent auction, starting at $100, to raise funds for the 5th Annual Pride Fest scheduled for June 6 at the Fullerton Museum Center Plaza. Submissions were collected at Allison’s Goods and the museum before being curated and displayed for the event.

Mike thanks for sharing. The Love Blocks out Hate event is tonight. Fullerton Museum, downtown Fullerton. Free admission. 5:30 pm – 9 pm. There are over 100 blocks completed by artists that will be available for silent auction tonight. Each block starts at $100 bid.
I’m reading this article in the morning on May 1, but it is written as though the fundraiser at the Fullerton Museum Center tonight has already happened. Not helpful (or did I sleep though the event?).
Editor Saskia Kennedy: Thank you. I updated the article to reflect the event time and date. I made a mistake copying the text from the paper that is coming out after the fact. I appreciate that you let me know. Thank you.
