Beaux Arts 2025 Event Information

Join Scottsdale Artists’ School for a celebration of art, community, and purpose at the 2025 Beaux Arts Fundraiser Gala and Online Art Auction, running November 5–8, 2025. This annual event blends fine art with philanthropy, bringing together collectors, patrons, and creatives to champion the next generation of artists.

The in-person gala, held Saturday, November 8 from 6:00–9:00 PM, will transform the Scottsdale Artists’ School campus into a vibrant celebration of the arts. Guests will enjoy music, culinary delights, door prizes, and the rare opportunity to connect with celebrated artists in an intimate and inspiring setting, all in the heart of the Scottsdale Arts District.

This year’s featured Signature Artist is Daniel James Keys, known for his lush and expressive floral paintings. In addition, one lucky attendee will take home an original sculpture by Signature Sculptor Artist Sandy Scott, awarded through a special raffle.

The Online Art Auction, live from November 5 to 8, offers something for every collector, featuring a curated selection of original works from established professionals to emerging talents. Whether browsing from home or bidding at the gala, attendees will be supporting a mission that makes art education more accessible and impactful.

Proceeds from Beaux Arts directly support Scottsdale Artists’ School, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and one of the nation’s premier independent art institutions. The School’s nationally recognized programs include fine art workshops for adults, a highly regarded Youth and Teen Academy, and outreach initiatives that expand creative opportunity across the community. “Beaux Arts is more than just a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of creativity, connection, and the transformative power of art education,” says Trudy Hays, Executive Director of Scottsdale Artists’ School. “Every bid placed and every ticket purchased funds our mission to inspire and educate through the arts.”

Bidding for artwork will take place from November 5 - 8, 2025 and will be done online through Auction Conductor so that those who cannot attend the in-person event may still participate in the art auction and acquire original works from professional artists. In addition to the online art auction, there will also be door prizes and music entertainment for all in-person participants. The auction and gala are a tremendous chance to acquire original art while supporting a noble cause.
