Art in the Dark is back!!! We are excited to be back and in person for this year’s event at the beautiful La Villita Assembly Hall. Join us for an unforgettable, unique evening celebrating “The Touch”…”The Sense”…”The Feel”… of art. We will have fabulous local artists, potters, sculptors and jewelry designers in San Antonio who have donated their art work to this event. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on the art throughout the evening while enjoying wonderful food and beverages from local restaurants and businesses. This year we have a very special guest, John Bramblitt a very talented and skilled painter that just so happens to be blind! John will have a demonstration of his painting skills which is truly phenomenal. Rick Cavender will also be joining us to perform with our Lighthouse Choir. We will also be utilizing the online component of this event and will be conducting a virtual auction for those who would like to bid on art outside of San Antonio and Texas altogether. We will be posting the same art pieces online as the pieces available at the in-person event. Each piece posted online will have a written description from the artist as well as a quick bio from the artists that describe their inspiration and art pieces. Tickets are $60 in advance and $75 at the door. All proceeds will benefit the San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind & Vision Impaired – rehabilitation programs.
