The Rossetti Foundation will host a silent and live auction featuring original artwork by the talented artist Sunday Olaniyi on July 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Rossetti Estate, 1005 Vine St., Scranton.

This event is a unique opportunity to meet the artist himself. Other than the purchase of Sunday’s works, this event is free.

Raised in the historic town of Osogbo, fondly referred to as the “land of indigo” in Osun State, Nigeria, Olaniyi’s upbringing deeply influences his artistic vision. Renowned for his mastery of glass bead portraiture and abstract storytelling, Otanlyi brings a uniquely African perspective to his craft.

A reception will feature live music, libations, and an immersive experience that celebrates the transformative power of art.
