Weapons of Light Artist Salon and Benefit Auction 2026

On September 26th, the foundation will host an immersive artistic salon and benefit auction inside the historic studio of sculptor Adaline Kent.

The evening will include:

  • A curated meal by award-winning Chef Lionel Haeberle (Per Diem SF, Beat Bobby Flay)
  • A live auction of limited-edition and one-of-a-kind artworks, with select pieces from the Weapons of Light series
  • Performances curated by Shinji Eshima and featuring San Francisco Symphony musicians

Our event raises funds to support our orphanage in India and artist grants, allowing us to uplift creative voices while directly impacting lives in need.

We hope you will join us.
