Hundreds of art aficionados were in attendance at Venue West for DIFFA/Chicago’s 2nd annual Art for Life Chicago juried art auction and exhibition on Oct. 18.

The event featured bidding, beverages and bites—along with an array of donated works from well-known established professional and emerging artists, as well as a memoriam for the late artist Kieran McGonnell. One of the Art For Life Chicago highlights was the sought-after “Off the Wall” opportunity where guests “purchased and cut” a desired piece from a giant art canvas to create their own, one-of-a-kind keepsake from the night.

Funds raised at Art For Life Chicago will fund grants for local non-profits and those impacted by HIV/AIDS.
