Now in its 10th year, 10×10 Name Unseen showcases more than 140 original artworks generously donated by local artists—reflecting the diversity and talent of the Roaring Fork Valley.
In 10×10 Name Unseen, local artists are invited to create freely—no rules, no expectations—on a simple 10×10 panel. Staying true to the theme “Name Unseen,” artist identities remain hidden until the auction closes, encouraging equitable bidding and a deeper engagement with the art itself. The exhibition celebrates risk-taking, curiosity, and the shared joy of making. From bold departures in style to first-time explorations in new media, the result is a collection as varied as the artists themselves. All proceeds support the Art Base’s vision of art as a tool for connection, education, and community growth.
The public is invited to view the exhibition at the Art Base from August 1–16. Bidding will take place online via mobile devices and will close at 6:30 PM. on Saturday, August 16. Ticket holders for pARTy 2025, the Art Base’s annual fundraising gala, will have final in-person access to the exhibition from 5–6:30 PM before proceeding to Lions Park for a catered dinner, live giving, and a celebration of arts and community from 7–9 PM.
