For something seriously fun to do this month, check out this crowd-pleasing event: Arts Benicia’s Art Auction & Gala, September 23, 2017, 6:30-10:30pm. Wine and nibbles, amazing art and much more make for a highly entertaining evening. All are welcome as art lovers, collectors and those wanting to know more about art will travel from around the Bay Area to gather at Benicia’s most exciting annual fundraiser.
