The term lens flare refers to light scattering in a camera lens in response to a bright light source, often producing a starburst effect. This year we are celebrating the brightness of our community, and the intrinsically playful relationship between photography and light. Come join us on October 4, 2024 for a joyful evening of art and artistic expression, and share your unique style—your personal flair—with a community of creatives. The evening includes a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by a seated dinner and live auction, hosted by auctioneer Ian Lindsay. This year’s auction features artwork from dozens of artists, each distinctly harnessing light in their work. All auction works will also be on view in PCNW’s gallery September 12 – 29, 2024.

Don’t miss out on PCNW’s biggest night of the year where we’ll honor our vibrant community, raise critical funds for our programs, and embrace the beauty of photography. VIP tickets include an invitation to a special art and wine reception with auction artists.
