Annual Winter Fundraiser: A Silent Auction Night Out

Shop local, find something special, and enjoy an in-person night out at the Annual Winter Fundraiser silent auction.
About this Event

Join The Inventor Center’s third annual silent auction for an evening of local shopping, live music, and holiday fun!

Shop local, find something special, and have a great night out! Browse handcrafted items from local artists and makers, gift cards and goodies from local businesses, and experiences at regional vacation destinations. Shop for friends and family—or find something special for yourself. Bid in both the silent auction and live auction, enjoy live music by Momma Molasses, and mingle with friends and neighbors.

Make a difference while having a great time! Your participation supports The Inventor Center, Kingsport and the Tri-Cities’ only nonprofit makerspace. We provide access to tools, equipment, creative workshops, and hands-on learning opportunities, helping people of all experience levels explore new skills, bring ideas to life, and discover what they can create.

Our impact reaches beyond our own doors. We partner with local nonprofit organizations, including the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Walkin’ and Rollin’, and other non-profits in the community, to help expand access to tools, resources, and hands-on learning experiences that support their work in our community. By supporting The Inventor Center, you’re helping us empower individuals, strengthen local organizations, encourage creativity, and create more opportunities throughout Kingsport and the Tri-Cities.

When you shop local, you support the artists, makers, and businesses that make our region special. When you attend our auction, you also help sustain a nonprofit that gives back to the community in meaningful ways.
