Barbies, Kens & Friends Auction 2025
Saved from the landfills where plastic dolls will often take twenty to possibly 500 years to decompose, we offer a Gallery Exhibit and Silent Auction to showcase Barbies and dolls that have been repurposed into new works of recycled art.

Returning this year is the online silent auction for anyone to view from anywhere! You have the chance to win a custom upcycled Barbie that supports arts programming at the Sonoma Community Center. The online auction will open at 5:00 pm on April 3rd and close at 2:00 pm on April 26th.
