Welcome to Blackshear Elementary's (click HERE for School Website) Little EAST Silent Auction website!  This year's auction is filled with our favorite business donors from the past several years!  Last year's 11th annual auction raised just over $5,400!!  

**If you're on a desktop/ laptop, click to the left to start bidding**

On November 16th, our school will be hosting its 11th Annual Little EAST Show in conjunction with Big Medium's Annual (East) Austin Studio Tour (AST, click HERE).  The Show will take place from 11am to 3pm - there will be student artwork and performances, craft tables, a screen printing station, a Trashion (Fashion) Show and our Silent Auction.  



We are very proud to be Austin ISD's first elementary school dedicated to the Fine Arts!  This means that our students have two extra classes each week in the fine arts: ballet, dance, music, theater, improv, film, and more!  Blackshear is also a Title 1 school (more than half of our families are economically disadvantaged) - we're bringing the fine arts to kids that otherwise might not have some of these opportunities.  We are so excited about what we're doing!

All funds raised during this auction go to further develop and support the fine arts programming that we have in place, as well as new initiatives that we'll pursue in the future.
