El Futuro’s 6th Art Auction & Fundraiser: Expresiones

Something special is coming to downtown Durham this fall. El Futuro’s 6th Annual Art Auction & Gala returns Oct. 17, 2026, bringing together art, community and purpose for an unforgettable evening.

The event is more than a celebration. It’s a chance to show up for mental health in the community in a bold, joyful way.

Guests can expect a vibrant night filled with inspiring artwork, meaningful connections and the energy of people who believe in healing and hope. Every piece of art, every bid and every moment shared helps power the work of El Futuro, expanding access to culturally responsive mental health care for those who need it most.

Whether guests come for the art, the cause or the community, they’ll leave knowing they were part of something bigger.
