The Art on Fire Auction is a hot party and Pittsburgh's ONLY glass art auction. It's a great opportunity to buy handmade, one-of-a-kind glass art for a good value while also supporting artists and Pittsburgh Glass Center.   

EXCLUSIVE GUEST LIST
Attendance will be limited to only 300 guests (down from our usual 500) to ensure that you have room to safely enjoy the party and experience every little spark.

OUTSIDE + INSIDE
Our doors will be wide open, but most activities will take place outside under a tent. The live auction, refreshments, and entertainment will be outside. You are also invited to come inside to watch live glassblowing demonstrations, view the auction items, enjoy refreshments, and buy glass pumpkins. 

ONLINE
As usual, the silent auction will be online and accessible with your smartphone prior to Art on Fire: Meltdown. 

If you'd rather participate from home, we're okay with that too. We'll prepare a party pack for you that includes everything you need to celebrate at home including YouTube access to watch the glassblowing demonstrations and the live auction. 

WE'RE GRATEFUL TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS
