On April 1, 2023, the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC) will celebrate its 11th Annual Mini Show Benefit Auction in the beautifully renovated Commercial Building at the Missoula County Fairgrounds. For our 2023 Mini Show art auction and gala we've again secured this well-appointed space in order to share visual creations of all sizes. The 2023 Mini Show will be the most accessible Mini Show ever – both for attendees and for folks unable to make it! Artists who choose to donate 100% of sales will be offered two second floor gallery tickets (dinner not included), or one first floor dinner ticket. Please reserve tickets early. Artists who choose to donate 75% or 50% of sales will be offered one second floor gallery ticket (dinner not included). We will continue using our new online auction platform (so the silent auction will be accessible to anyone – whether they attend or not).

This live gala event will include live entertainment from a cast composed of longtime supporters and new friends, a silent and live auction, a cash bar, a catered dinner, a dessert auction, and more! The Mini Show is the ZACC's largest fundraising event of the year. Art donations made to the Mini Show support year-round arts programming and education for the Missoula community and its visitors. With your help, we hope this year will boast the most incredible catalog of local and regional art yet!
