Rochester, NY, September 28, 2019 –(PR.com)– The Yards Collective today announced an ambitious 24-hour silent auction and arts event to celebrate its 8th birthday October 18th and 19th. The company is also announcing plans to start working toward non-profit status within the next two years.

The night will also include performances by local musicians, a dance party, a Saturday brunch with coffee provided by Java’s Café and collaborative activities during Saturday Rochester Public Market hours, 10am-2pm.

“As we celebrate our 8th anniversary at The Yards our goal is to raise $8,000,” says Kristina Kaiser, Executive Director at The Yards. “We hope to create more scholarships to our Residency Program and to continue development of a Teen Ambassador program.”
