Community Art Auction - 2026

RAISING MONEY FOR THE 

FOOD BANK OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NC

Through July 15th, you can bid on over a dozen locally made pieces of art donated by artists from NoRa's community.

All artists have agreed to donate at least 50% of the winning bid to The Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC with the remaining amount going to the artist.  Many artists are donating all of the amount.

Please help us raise funds during these challenging times for our community while also showing your support for our talented artists.

NoRa will be hosting a closing auction event at NoRa on July 15th from 4 to 7 pm.  Anyone who has bid on a piece of art will receive free non-alcoholic barista-made drinks during the closing event.  Visit the Auction page for more information.

Starting September 25th, The Library will be open to the public from 7 am to 5 pm every day.

The Library will close its doors at 5 pm each night to allow us to host a variety of activities and events in that space.
