Comfort Station is pleased to announce Home Comforts, our fourth annual silent auction to raise funds in support of Comfort Station’s programming and working artists in our community. The auction goes live Thursday, December 7, 2023, and runs through Thursday, December 14, 2023.

Home Comforts comprises two different categories of works available—Deep Cuts and Commissions—each offering a range of works from both emerging and established artists. 

Through Deep Cuts, we have once again invited Chicago-based artists to pull special works from their studio inventory and offer them up for auction, with proceeds split between the artist and Comfort Station. In the frenetic pace of making and showing work in the gallery circuit, many artists’ pieces often find their way back into the studio and off the immediate market. Deep Cuts aims to bring these works back into circulation, offering collectors unique pieces from different points in the artists’ careers. 

Similar to prior years’ Home Comforts, our Commissions are offered in partnership with some of our favorite  galleries in Chicago, highlighting the important connection between the non-profit and commercial sectors of the arts community. Commissions offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for local working artists to connect with their immediate community and make an inspiring, lasting impact.
