Spring into Creativity: A Ryman Arts Auction
By Rebecca Flores, Development & Communications Coordinator
This spring, Ryman Arts invites our community to celebrate creativity while supporting the next generation of artists through Spring into Creativity: A Ryman Arts Auction, taking place online April 27 through May 3, 2026.
For nearly four decades, Ryman Arts has provided rigorous studio instruction, mentorship, and college and career guidance to young artists who demonstrate both passion and potential. Our students come from diverse communities across Southern California, and many go on to study at leading art schools and universities before pursuing careers in the arts, design, entertainment, and education.
This year’s auction features a curated collection of artwork, experiences, and one-of-a-kind offerings that reflect the spirit of creativity at the heart of Ryman Arts.
For those seeking memorable experiences, the auction offers several standout opportunities. Enjoy an exclusive whisky tasting, explore art and creativity in Las Vegas, or bid on a special meal with former Walt Disney Imagineering president Bob Weis.
Art lovers will have the opportunity to bid on original works by celebrated artists, including Disney artists Eric Robison, George Scribner, Wayne Hunt, and Nancy Seruto. The auction will also feature selected works by Ryman Arts students, offering supporters a chance to collect pieces from emerging young artists whose creative journeys are just beginning.
The auction also features a variety of arts and culture experiences across Southern California with opportunities at LACMA, the Hilbert Museum, and more. Additional highlights range from unique art collectibles and creative merchandise to themed baskets and other surprises, making for a lively mix of culture, creativity, and one-of-a-kind finds.
Every bid placed during the auction directly supports Ryman Arts’ mission to ensure that talented young people have access to high-quality arts education, regardless of financial circumstance.
Whether you are hoping to add a new piece to your art collection, enjoy a unique experience, or simply support arts education, the Spring into Creativity auction offers a meaningful way to make an impact.
Mark your calendar and join us online April 27 through May 3 to browse, bid, and help ensure that talented young artists continue to have the opportunity to develop their skills, voices, and creative futures.
