Ken Hoffman is a professor emeritus at Bradley University who has been actively involved with the Peoria Art Guild for decades. His paintings of personified animal portraits are internationally recognized and have brought joy to collectors for over 50 years.

Ken has been recognized as one of the most outstanding professors at Bradley University, and students have benefitted from his dedication to teaching, his guidance in preparing them for careers in the arts, and for his perseverance as a role model. When Ken was diagnosed with cancer and undergoing treatment many years ago, he would return to Heuser Art Center and teach that very day. We learned his passion for sharing his love of art and the personal act of creating was never deterred no matter how great the obstacle might be.

Join us for this one of a kind art auction featuring pieces created by local artists that reflect the influence Ken had on them
The event includes an art auction with Roger Roemer, a 50/50 drawing, silent auction baskets, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music and lots of Ken Hoffman fun!
