Auction Exhibition Tour: 7 PM 

Join us for Collect & Connect: An Introduction to Art Collecting + Wine Tasting, an engaging evening where you’ll discover insider tips on how to start collecting art from an established professional, while learning about a curated selection of wine from a Certified Sommelier.

The night begins with a guided tour of our LOOK26 Art Auction exhibition, offering insight into the artists and stories behind the works on view. From there, guests will gather for an interactive conversation with Megan Paterson, founder of Aurelia, who will demystify the art market and share practical advice on how to start building a collection with confidence, from defining your taste and setting a budget to understanding where to look and long-term value.

Throughout the evening, enjoy a curated wine tasting led by Margaux Burgess, Certified Sommelier and founder of Swirl Wine Imports, with thoughtful selections to inspire conversation.

Whether you’re beginning your collecting journey or hoping to expand your knowledge of the art world and wine, this relaxed, social evening brings together art, community, and wine in perfect balance.
