Prepare for bidding battle.
Tabriz, the Arkansas Arts Center’s biennial two-day event, returns May 4 and 6, and it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than ever to mark its 25th year.
Saturday night is the black-tie gala, but up first is Thursday night’s bazaar, Tabriz: Auction in the City, where guests will be transported to Central Park and enjoy drinks, lots of street food (yes, including hot dogs) and the event’s infamous silent auction.
To help you prepare, we’ve got a sneak peek at this year’s item list. Take a look.
