Sangre Summer Lights by Sarah Woods
Our online auction is back, and it's better than ever! This year, we're offering fine art and fun experiences to support conservation in southern Colorado.
The auction is open now and continues through 2 p.m. Aug. 22 and features nine outstanding artists, whose talents and hearts capture the essence of our magnificent landscapes and way of life. The fine art includes oil paintings, pencil, photography, woodworking, jewelry, pyrography and bronze sculpture.
Our special experiences include a botanical tour through the valley, music, theater, downhill skiing, a High Country garden tour, a Dark Skies vacation, as well as grass-fed and -finished beef and a ranch operations tour from one of the most innovative, sustainable ranches in our region.
To view the artwork and special experiences and bid on your favorites, visit SanIsabelAuction2021.
San Isabel Land Protection Trust strives to keep this region wild and beautiful, with abundant wildlife, productive agriculture, flowing the auction water and thriving rural communities. Your support makes that possible.
