This juried exhibition showcases all the works selected for the two distinctive art auctions MAM's 38th Benefit Art Auction and Artini Auction: Wear Oh Ware.

This year's exhibition promises a stunning array of contemporary art and art objects.

Frostad, and Josh DeWeese mingle with national artists like Magi Calhoun (TX) and Don Voisine (NY).
