MEMORIAL HALL

Double Vision is arguably the most creative live and silent auction in Cincinnati. Featuring artwork by V+V artists and community collaborators, Double Vision raises awareness and money in support of V+V’s mission to provide creative, professional, and educational opportunities for adults with disabilities. Drag queen, Penny Tration, emcees and Steiner Auctions share the stage as they dazzle the crowd with special guest appearance from the one and only Pam Kravetz. Cincinnati’s own Ricky Nye will be playing jazz, blues, and boogie woogie piano early in the evening during the art preview and silent auction. Plus, we will have a pop-up shop, light bites, and a hosted bar.

WHAT IS DOUBLE VISION?

Double Vision is an experience where artists from Visionaries + Voices collaborate with community artists to create original artworks and support our organization’s mission.

Every year in early November, we throw a party for artists to mix, mingle, and find a partner in creative crime. During this “Pairing Party,” individuals may choose to work with each other based on style, medium, or the relationships they build through creative collaboration. Once paired, the artist duos have until February to create one work of art, which will be auctioned off at Double Vision – our biggest fundraising event of the year. During this annual event, selected artworks are bid on by art collectors and patrons, as well as families and friends of V+V.

100% of the proceeds are used to support our mission to offer creative, professional, and educational opportunities for adults with disabilities.
