Soft Network is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting artists and those entrusted with their legacies. Through exhibitions, public programs, educational initiatives, peer exchange, and direct support, Soft Network brings together people and organizations working with artists and their legacies to share knowledge, build connections, and navigate the practical, ethical, and personal questions that come with this work.
Join us for the Soft Network Benefit Auction, bringing together an exceptional group of artists spanning generations, geographies, and artistic practices, including Pacita Abad, Nancy Holt, Luchita Hurtado, Robert Motherwell, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Elizabeth Murray, Carolee Schneemann, Robert Smithson, Nancy Spero, Jack Tworkov, Betty Woodman, and many more. By bidding, collectors will support both Soft Network’s ongoing work and the organizations participating in the auction, strengthening a community committed to caring for artists’ work and histories for generations to come.
Bidding will be open exclusively on Artsy and will begin closing on Wednesday, October 7th at 12:00 ET.
