Dear Artists,

We invite you to submit your work to our 14th annual NIMBASH fundraiser.  Our interactive arty-party, food and wine experience and auction will return to Charles Krug Winery on May 13th.  We expect over 300 guests from the Napa Valley, San Francisco Bay Area and beyond to attend our annual sold-out event. Nimbash is a unique commission-based auction, with a percentage of art sales going to the artist.

NEW FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION THIS YEAR:

To streamline the process, we have created a stellar panel of jurors who will curate the selections through an online platform. All submissions must be made through “Entry Thingy” for Nimbash 2023. The link follows:
