Winter Solstice 2020
Since we couldn’t celebrate the season together, Winter Solstice 2020 was a weeklong auction with unique, Covid-safe Ultimate Holiday experiences, from socially distanced, small group events at beloved local venues to virtual meetups with top creatives in the entertainment industry.
Winter SOLSTICE 2020 also included an online Print Sale with works by over a dozen OA mentors and mentees. These one-of-a-kind prints showcased the immense talent and creativity of young local artists who work with Oakwood Arts.
All proceeds from the auction went to support OA's 2021 programming. Fifty percent of print sales went directly to OA mentors and seventy-five percent went directly to OA mentees.
