Thanks to all bidders and winners, attendees, volunteers, and our sponsors for supporting CSI and making the evening a terrific success! On opening night, Dec 7, we had food, fun and fabulous art along with live and silent auctions. We sold 21 sculptures so far but there's still a chance to buy more art through Jan 26th. There's some great pieces that need homes for the holidays! All proceeds support the CSI exhibition and outreach programs and CSI members. Bid Now on our Art Auction.
Little, but BOLD! is in celebration of all things un-monumental. Often flying under the radar, small things have the special ability to bridge private and public spaces. Within the sculpture field, there has been a projected narrative that bigger is better. We are here to assert that small things can hold the same importance as the largest monument.

Letherbee - Rewind to 2007: Brenton Engel is cooking moonshine in his basement. Two years later, his bootlegged “Illinois Joy” would create a cult following outside neighborhood bars and with restaurant cooks across the city. Brenton soon starts bartending (shout out to Lula Cafe) and working heavily with herbs and spices. Incorporating these botanicals into the moonshine operation unlocked ideas for all-natural botanical spirits made in a new way, from a new perspective - free from corporate compromises. With absolutely zero influence from outside investors or marketers, Letherbee's level of authenticity is second to none. Now distributing across the US, a little in Europe, and a little in Canada, the product family consists of the Original Label Gin, Barrel-Aged Absinthe, Autumnal & Vernal Gins, Bësk, and Fernet.

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird’s Eye Chilli, is the key to our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. It’s grown in the African soil, so the magic starts from the ground up. Nando’s originated in South Africa, but we grow our PERi-PERi throughout Southern Africa—especially in Mozambique. Responsibility is core to our business, so we choose to empower more than 1,400 farmers by growing our own PERi-PERi across nearly 500 acres in the region. PERi-PERi is an important part of Mozambique’s history, as the sauce reflects the blend of cultures present in the country for centuries. PERi-PERi chicken eventually made its way across the border to South Africa, but it all started in Mozambique.
Since 2002, we’ve teamed up with the Spier Arts Trust in South Africa to catalyze and empower over 350 artists from our homeland. Together, we run a ton of exciting artist initiatives that honor our Southern African roots and make a lasting investment in their creative communities. All our artist initiatives are made to fire up the creative lives of the Southern African artists we partner with and give our customers something one-of-a-kind to feast their eyes on! We’re trying hard to play a part in helping emerging creatives forge a lasting, stable career in the arts whilst giving their brilliant creations a global platform. So next time you’re in a Nando’s, take in the view!
