Saturday's Auction at Beverly Arts Center Inspired by Old Hollywood

The Beverly Arts Center Auxiliary Board invites residents to celebrate and support the arts at the hottest party in town at its 45th annual auction from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20.

The evening will include cocktails, music and dancing, savories and sweets and live and silent auctions. New this year is online bidding and a special jazz lounge at the BAC’s Louis Armstrong exhibit.

Tickets are $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Click here to purchase tickets online or call (773) 445-3838.

The theme of this year’s auction is “Some Like it Hot,” in celebration of the 1959 movie starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Guests are encouraged to dress in the fashion of old Hollywood glamour. The theme is also a nod to the BAC’s funding initiative to repair the air-conditioning system, according to the Beverly Review.

Auction items will include a stay at a Lake Michigan beach house, VIP tickets to Riot Fest, a baby grand piano and more.
