When and where

Off the Wall will be held at Dallas Center for Photography (4756 Algiers, Dallas 75207) on Saturday, June 3. Doors open at 6:00pm to review the art, mingle, and enjoy something to eat and drink. At 7:00pm we begin the art auction and will wrap up by 9:00pm.

How it works

This distinctive twist on the traditional art auction will feature 75 framed fine art photographs donated by a range of photographers – from seasoned professionals to award-winning amateurs. Your individual $225 Art Ticket guarantees that you’ll take one of the framed photographs home with you. There are 75 Art Tickets for 75 pieces of art. Names will be drawn at random; and when your name is called, you can choose any piece that hasn’t already been spoken for.

There will also be a silent auction full of items and experiences to bid on and bring home.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will help support DCP’s educational programming, gallery exhibitions and efforts to bring the storytelling power of photography to our North Texas community.

Can I bring guests?

Yes. For an additional $25 Guest Ticket added on to your $225 Art Ticket, you are allowed to bring one guest to the event. Guests will enjoy the evening but will not take home a piece of art. If you’d like your guest to have a piece of art, then you’ll need to buy an Art Ticket for them.

Can I bring more than one guest?

No. Each Art Ticket holder can buy only one Guest Ticket. For more in your party, you’ll have to buy additional Art Tickets. If you’d like each person in your party to have a piece of art, then you’ll need to buy an Art Ticket for each of them.

Can I come as just a guest?

No. Individuals must buy an Art Ticket for $225.

Is there food and drink?

Oh yes! We’ll have delicious appetizers provided by Mi Cocina and a selection of wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks. This year we will once again have the wildly popular Mambo Taxi margaritas. All are complimentary and included with your Art or Guest tickets.

Are there sponsorship opportunities?

Yes, we are looking for individuals and local businesses to help make this event truly special for our community as a sponsor and/or silent auction donor. Please contact us for more information on this opportunity.

I can’t attend but I’d still like to support the photographic arts in North Texas.

Are tickets refundable?
