Bid and Benefit First Person Arts!

You Better Belize It!

Now is your chance to travel to Belize, host a dinner party without lifting a finger, or start those Spanish lessons you’ve always wanted to try while supporting First Person Arts and our mission to transform the drama of real life into memoir and documentary art. Read on, because there’s much, much more to be given and gotten.

First Person Arts believes that that everyone has a story to tell, and that sharing our stories celebrates our diversity and forges the bonds of community that bring us together -- and we know that you do too!

Support our mission by visiting this site early and often - it's a great way to give to First Person Arts, and get something great in return!

The online portion of First Person Arts Auction is now open. The auction will run from October 13, 2008 to November 6, 2008, concluding live at our "First Taste Festival Preview Dinner" at Ristorante Panorama on November 6, 2008. (Click the link to purchase tickets!)

Proceeds go to First Person Arts to support our annual Festival of Memoir and Documentary Art, our monthly StorySlams and Salons, and our artist-in-residencies and Community Writing Program.

Auction items range from exotic vacation getaways to activities and gift items guaranteed to delight and surprise. So, get in on the action and start bidding!
