The Box Show

Shelley Rugg • July 31, 2024

It is time, once again, for the 26th annual Box Show at Gallery Route One! If you know, you know.

The Box Show is GRO's biggest fundraiser of the year. 150 people receive a plain wooden box (this year, built by 2 sophomore girls from Tomales High), and 2 months later they bring it back as a work of art. The variety and creativity is astounding. If you've never been, consider this your cue to go!

We are having a 'soft opening' of the Box Show at this month's Art Walk on August 2nd, 5-7. The Opening Reception for the Box Artists is happening on Saturday, August 3rd from 3-5. The will be Live Music, Food, Drink, Ice Cream Cones, and Boxes- Lots of Boxes!

Bidding will take place online. Visit https://secure.qgiv.com/event/theboxshow2024/  There you may view the auction once it goes live on Friday, 8/2 at 5pm (nothing to see prior to that). This is also where you register to be a bidder. Just follow the prompts. (f you need assistance with registering, or you would like to register without adding credit card or checking info, please contact the gallery front desk at (415) 663-1347)

Proceeds from the Box Show fund our operational overhead and all of our programs including: The Artist Member Exhibition Program, The Visiting Artist Program, Artists in the Schools, Fellowship Program, Latino Photography Project, and the Artists' Exchange.
