(From Awakening Minds Art)

Awakening Minds Art (AMA) will host its 15th Annual Art Auction on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025. The event will take place in Findlay at the Hilton Garden Inn and will feature original artwork created by AMA students of all ages and abilities from across all of northwest Ohio.

The annual auction was established to showcase the artwork produced through the organization’s therapeutic and educational visual art programs. Over the past 15 years, the event has served as a consistent platform to highlight the talents and progress of AMA participants, while also supporting the organization’s mission financially.

The evening includes a live auction where students personally present their work as it is auctioned, along with dinner, music by Chris Salyer, and program highlights. Doors open at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour, with dinner service beginning at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the event will benefit both current programming and the organization’s endowment fund, which was established to ensure long-term sustainability.

Ticket and sponsorship information is available at awakeningmindsart.org/art-auction.
