Upcoming Community Art Auction–Accepting Entries Now!
Who is ready for a night of fun in Arvada? We hope you can join us for First United Church of Arvada’s “Community Art Auction Fundraiser” on Saturday, June 24, from 6 -8:30 p.m., with proceeds benefitting First United, Community Table and the Arvada Center. There will be drinks and snacks available, along with some awesome artwork that can be purchased for a fraction of actual value at the Silent Auction taking place from 6 – 8:30 p.m.

The doors open at 6 p.m., and the first of three art tables closes at 6:45 p.m. The second art table will close at 7:05 and the last table closing at 7:25 p.m. In between table closings you’ll be able to snack, view and bid on art, mix and mingle with folks from the Arvada community and chat with the artists. You’ll also have bragging rights about attending the First Annual – First United Church of Arvada Community Art Silent Auction! Helping promote the unity in community!

Want to see your artwork starring in the Silent Auction, along with an opportunity to meet the art collector who purchased your art? We are accepting a wide variety of art forms and styles, as long as it’s family friendly. Contact Carrie at 720-329-5239 with any questions about artwork you are considering donating. Deadline for art donations is Friday, June 16, 2023 by noon at First United of Arvada, 7195 Simms St, Arvada, CO 80004.
Please see the Auction Policies.
Here is the Artwork Submission Form.

Sunday mornings, 8:30am–Adult Ed Class
Please join the new Adult Ed class on Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the Fireside Room (started April 19). Cathedral on Fire by Brooks Berndt forms the basis of the discussion.
