The MC Art Collective will hold its fourth annual Art Gala on Saturday night at the Aledo Opera House.
Doors open for the event at 5 p.m., and live bidding begins at 6:30 p.m.
The event auctions off artwork from Mercer County School District students, alumni, and more, with the artist getting a percentage of the proceeds and the rest of the money helping fund trips and scholarships for art students in the Mercer County School District.
Mercer County High School senior Lucas Weeks explains what it feels like when students see people bidding on their artwork.
Pieces that will be auctioned off at the event are currently displayed in the windows of downtown Aledo businesses. The MC Art Collective’s Art Walk is Thursday evening.
