While Clocks 2026 Art Auction Fundraiser is an inspiring evening of art, community, and impact, it is also so much more. It supports grassroots efforts, gender-affirming and trans healthcare, an LGBTQ+ safe space, and a welcoming place where community can thrive.


Featuring works from local artists, this event celebrates creativity, diversity, and self-expression while raising critical funds to sustain programs, resources, and services for LGBTQ+ individuals in our community.



For the first time we will be auctioning off a piece of Quad Cities LGBTQ+ history LIVE at our Art Auction from 630pm - 7pm you will have the chance to bid live on two incredible pieces!

We will be auctioning:

Two original outdoor signs from Mary's on 2nd

Mary's on 2nd is a treasured piece of Quad Cities LGBTQ+ history. For 25 years Mary's on 2nd provided a safe space for our LGBTQ+ community. It was a place to gather, a safe night life, it hosted community events and fundraisers, drag shows, PRIDE Festivals and so much more.

" It's Gay Cheers!"

Earlier this year, Mary's on 2nd closed its doors after 25 years of serving our community. Its impact, however, continues to live on through the countless lives it touched.

We are honored to feature these powerful pieces of our communities LGBTQ+ history for our fundraiser

You must be present to bid for these

The live auction will take place from 630pm 7pm

Every bid, share and person in the door means so much to us! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see you here unless you are here than hello!!!
