InLiquid's Annual Benefit to Feature 15 Days Of Art, Artists And Culture This March

Each spring throughout the past 25 years, InLiquid will host their annual fundraiser that brings together art lovers of all ages from throughout the Philadelphia region. This event, named “The Benefit” in previous years, isn't just a party, it's a celebration of Philadelphia's creative community and visual arts culture. 

‍This year, the annual fundraiser has been rebranded as March for Art, reflective of both the month it takes place during, and the community resilience InLiquid is committed to upholding. While the name has evolved, the basic format of the auction will remain the same. For 15 days, between March 9 and 22, more than 300 works of fine art are curated in one room, where InLiquid hosts a variety of events to connect Philadelphia's artists and arts professionals with the art buying public. In addition, a separate exhibit room will turn into an immersive environment, thanks to projection mapping technology courtesy of Jefferson University's industrial design department. Unlike many charity auctions, InLiquid splits the proceeds from each sale with the artists so that proceeds directly benefit the community and InLiquid's non-profit mission.

With two weeks of special events, there are multiple ways to experience March for Art. “As in years past, the multi-week event is an opportunity for the public to purchase art at a variety of different price points. We attract seasoned art buyers to young professionals, and our guests are typically laser-focused on acquiring art from our community of incredibly talented artists,” explained Rachel Zimmerman, Executive Director & Founder of InLiquid.
