Broadway Housing Communities’ 2024 Benefit Auction takes place September 26 – October 9 with a diverse range of work by over 60 artists available to bid-on at the event’s dedicated Artsy auction site.

The auction will raise funds for Broadway Housing Communities (BHC), which since 1983 has provided permanent homes for thousands of adults, children and families in and around the organization’s Sugar Hill, Harlem, neighborhood. BHC also provides high quality early childhood programs for resident and community children, as well as opportunities for local artists to exhibit their work and engage the community through the organization’s museum, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling.

This year’s auction includes lots by established contemporary and top emerging artists including Ellen Carey, Will Cotton, Dominic Chambers, Janice Guy, Yvette Mayorga, Amanda Means, Rachel Owens, Ugo Rondinone, Tavares Strachan, and William Villalongo. Celebrated artist and activist Faith Ringgold (1930-2024) is also represented in the auction and will be remembered and honored at ‘An Evening of Soul,’ a special benefit gala and auction preview taking place at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom on the evening of Tuesday, October 8. Artist Bisa Butler will be the inaugural recipient of the Faith in the Arts Award (named for Ringgold). All auction artworks will be on exhibition at the benefit, and the evening will also feature a performance by the Inspirational Voices of Abyssinian Baptist Church choir.
