Join us for our Annual Fundraiser Dinner Auction, held this year at the Garden City Community Barn. This lively evening will include music by Caroline Keyes and Nate Biehl, and live and silent auctions. Both auctions will include artworks by 26 local artists who have spent the Summer creating work inspired by the sights and sounds of Garden City Harvest farm sites. Artists have generously agreed to donate a portion of the auction proceeds to Open AIR. Our harvest season repast will be prepared on site at the Community Barn kitchen. Our menu includes grilled kabobs featuring beef from Oxbow Cattle Company and Mountain Meat Shares, tofu kabobs, vegetable kabobs, kale farro salad, roasted potatoes with rosemary, Great Harvest bread, and apple crisp with Big Dipper vanilla ice cream.
We are excited to announce that in 2023 Garden City Harvest will host its first Open AIR Artist-in-Residence at the River Road Farm. We look forward to kicking off our exciting new partnership with this dinner auction fundraiser!
