Off the Wall Gala 2026

@ Steal the art before someone else does! For this one unforgettable night, you get to choose an original artwork valued at $450 or more, pluck it off the wall, and take it home. Enjoy an open bar, delicious food, and the thrill of the countdown in person, or participate virtually with delivered wine and appetizers. Join us at 6 pm on Saturday, October 17, for our 16th annual Gala supporting FRANK Gallery’s mission to enrich our community through art. Attend in-gallery or from home The Gala will be held in the gallery as well as broadcast live via Zoom for attendees who want to enjoy art and a tasty cheese box in the comfort of their home. For guests attending in person, a full bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and light snacks will be provided. How does it work? With the purchase of an Art Ticket, your name is entered into a pool with other art ticket holders. During the gala, the names of art ticket holders will be drawn at random (this is the fun part!) and read out loud by our emcee, local radio personality, Aaron Keck. Once called, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what piece will go next! This event will be hybrid, meaning we’ll offer a limited amount of in-person art and companion tickets, and some online virtual tickets! In-person guests will enjoy delicious food and an open bar. Online guests have the same chance to select art off the wall, but from the comfort of their home. Silent Auction In addition to the incredible artwork, this year’s Gala will feature an exciting and robust silent auction with an amazing selection of items, including gift cards to your favorite local businesses, fabulous vacation rentals, unique experiences, and more! Bidding opens October 10 on BiddingOwl, so grab your login today! There’s sure to be something for everyone—and every bid helps support FRANK Gallery. Preview the Silent Auction items! Donated Artworks All of the artwork (donated by our generous artists!) is valued at or above the price of a ticket! Preview the works here or download the Gala program.
