The 2026 Legacy Arts Chester Art Auction benefiting Chester Youth will take place on May 7th at the Tyler Arboretum in Media, PA and reach thousands of people in Delaware County through the in-person event, online art auction platform, social media channels, and our dedicated email community. The auction will directly funds after-school art and mentorship programs for at-risk youth in Chester, providing safe spaces where creativity builds confidence, discipline, and hope. Students gain hands-on artistic training and meaningful relationships with mentors who help guide their academic and personal growth. In recognition of America 250, artists will show work that explores the idea of “home.” This may be interpreted broadly and personally: home as a place, a memory, a community, a culture, a landscape, or a sense of belonging.
