Call for Artists: BZC Art Auction & Fundraiser

May 4, 2026

Brooklyn Zen Center is hosting its first art auction and fundraiser, and we’re inviting sangha members and community artists to donate works for the show!

Works will be on display in the zendo and hallways of Boundless Mind Temple throughout June and July — visible to all who visit for programs, practice, and events.

The exhibition opens June 6 (which coincides with the BZC Courtyard Benefit Concert, ZenChella, at 2:00 PM) and culminates in a Final Auction Celebration on July 11, featuring both in-person and online bidding.

This is a wonderful opportunity to share your creative practice with the sangha and wider community, and to support the temple at the same time. Artists are encouraged to invite friends, family, and industry contacts — the more the merrier!

Key dates:

  • Submission deadline: Fri, May 15th
  • Installation drop-off: Wed, June 3rd by 5pm
  • Exhibition opens: Fri, June 6th
  • Final Auction Celebration: Sat, July 11th
