Through Their Lens: NYC Salt Silent Auction

For 21 years, NYC SALT has been on a mission to empower young people from diverse and historically underserved communities across New York City, helping them explore their creativity and share their voices with the world.

Step into an evening where creativity sparks opportunity.

Through Their Lens is NYC Salt’s spring silent auction, celebrating the power of photography to amplify youth voices, unlock confidence, and open doors to future possibilities. Each item in this curated collection—art, experiences, and exclusive offerings—directly supports NYC Salt’s mission to empower young people through visual storytelling and mentorship.

By bidding, you’re not just winning something special—you’re investing in access, education, and creative expression for the next generation of artists. Your generosity helps fund programs that provide students with cameras, workshops, exhibitions, and a platform to share their stories with the world.

All tickets include a Moleskine notebook, our gift to you, perfect for collecting ideas, reflections, or your next creative spark. Throughout the evening, guests are invited to enjoy drinks and light bites, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to connect, celebrate, and bid at your own pace.

Join us in framing a future where every young person is seen, heard, and valued.

Bid boldly. Support creatively. Make an impact.

Join us for this milestone event, where we will:

• Showcase exclusive artwork from our program students—highlighting the 
  talent and perspectives of NYC SALT’s young creatives and how they’re 
  framing the city through their lens.

• Celebrate 21+ years of impact, reflecting on the organization’s journey and the many doors opened for young artists.

• Host a Silent Auction featuring one-of-a-kind artwork and unique experiences. Proceeds will directly support NYC SALT programs, ensuring the next generation of youth has access to the same life-changing opportunities.
  

Together, we’ll honor the past, uplift the present, and invest in the future of creative youth in New York City.
