July 22-26, 2020

Join us for the 11th Annual Off the Wall fundraiser for the Masur Museum of Art!! OTW is the area's premier art auction featuring an excellent selection of affordable art by artists in our community and all over the country. This year the event will be different due to COVID 19. Instead of an in-person crowded party, we are going online! From July 22-26 we will have a website set up featuring all the work donated to the auction, including our curated gallery of larger-scale work. We will also be selling Bon Voyage Trip Raffle tickets for a trip worth up to $3,000 to one lucky winner! Support your local art museum; please join us online this July at offthewallauction.org! The online auction will start at 8:00 am on Wednesday, July 22, and end at 1:00 pm on Sunday, July 26.
Proceeds from Off the Wall support exhibitions and educational programs at the Masur Museum of Art. As the largest visual arts museum in northeast Louisiana, the Masur Museum of Art is vital to providing quality visual art experiences to the community of Northeast Louisiana. This is accomplished through temporary exhibitions, educational programs for all ages, and the management of a permanent collection.
