The Art of CP
online art auction October 23 - 27, 2025

Welcome to Artober on Cultivating Place!
The story of Cultivating Place has always been the story of the tree of life, and how and
where we as humans fit into it most beautifully and beneficially.
In addition to every conversation this month focusing on the artistry of Cultivating Place,
the CP team is also thrilled to announced the
2025 Art of CP Online Auction!
Think: the great vibe of a regional open studio tour meets Cultivating Place.
This year featuring the work of 17 cultivating and place-based artists (think: @francespalmer , @cultivatedbychristin , @corey_alston_sweetgrassbasket ,
@julia_lucey , @rebeccaallanstudio , @minh_ngoc,
and many more painters, jewelers, weavers, creators).
Each artist’s work is inspired by their place, and in turn illuminates their
relationship to plants and place so powerfully.
We are truly excited to introduce you to each and every one of these artists
and their stories throughout the month as we build up to the auction
going live on October 23rd.
The auction will open October 23 at 12:00am PT and close October 27 at 11:59pm PT.

The auction is a celebration of creativity, connection, and place and honors the heart of
Cultivating Place as a program, a community, and a philosophy.
All proceeds from auction will support Cultivating Place in all its facets: podcast, film, events, and advocacy.
Profound gratitude to the 17 visionary artists whose work makes this moment possible.
Let the beauty and purpose of this event inspire you — and enjoy!
