40th Annual Penland School of Crafts Auction

Penland School of Craft is a national craft education center dedicated to the creative life. The Benefit Auction is Penland School of Craft’s major annual fundraiser, supporting our mission of Making Lives Meaningful Through Making. A joyous and festive celebration of craft, community, and all things Penland, we will welcome collectors, curators, artists, and friends from far and wide. Hundreds of people and organizations come together to create the Penland Benefit Auction. It is a huge undertaking and a labor of love. This gala, which takes place every August, is a celebration of creativity and community made possible by the many artists, volunteers, and friends who support Penland. Tickets are required for the events.
