The Friends of St. Avips is hosting the 64th Annual St. Avips Ball, the “Fleur de Mai Ball”, Friday, May 1, 2026, at the Harry M Cornell Arts & Entertainment Complex. This gorgeous event has been a staple fundraiser throughout Spiva Center for the Arts’ history.
The Sana S. Shagets Art Auction for the Friends of St. Avips is conducted as a silent auction, with a web-based platform for our event guests, as well as off-site participants. The web component maximizes exposure, enabling a larger audience to view and bid upon participant’s artwork.
• The Ball theme “Fleur de Mai Ball” is not a requirement or suggested approach, although artists are welcome to incorporate images of spring and May Day into their work.
• Entry submissions open Monday, March 30; the deadline is Friday, April 17.
• Each artist may submit up to two (2) pieces of original art.
Please submit photos of artwork and the artist entry form to the friendsofstavips.com website.
