Calling all Collectors

Bid on over 100 one-of-a-kind artworks and participate in the fundraising arm of Wilton Art®. This year, our fifth annual show merges a pop-up gallery at Pride Corner Art & Frame at 2151 Wilton Drive and an online silent auction.

The auction will be hosted by LiveAuctioneers.com. All bidding, payments, and auction management go through LiveAuctioneers, a first-class world-renowned auction house.

Showcasing over 67 artists in a fundraising exhibition for a three-week-long salute to art, artists, and art patrons.

STEP 1: To participate and bid you must register at LiveAuctioneers.com. Click to visit the website then choose your option in the upper right-hand corner: LOG IN or JOIN.

  • Returning clients: LOG IN with account info

  • New clients: select JOIN to set up an account and provide your contact, payment & shipping info

STEP 2: Click the blue REGISTER FOR AUCTION button on the countdown banner to then register for the artsquare12x12.2024 auction.

Wilton Art® will hang all art by established, new, and emerging artists side by side to create a wall of art.

STEP 3: Peruse the wonderful collection of artwork either online or in person at Pride Corner Art + Frame. To access the auction online, you may:

  • From this site: click HERE to visit the artsquare12x12.2024 website on LiveAuctioneers.com

  • On another device: Visit LiveAuctioneers.com and search “Wilton Art, Inc.” then choose artsquare12x12.2024 beneath Upcoming Auctions

  • In person: Scan the QR CODE on the information card adjacent to the artwork to take you directly to that unique artwork on the bidding platform

Each artist has agreed to sell their work at a 50% commission based on the bid level received. The purchaser takes home a beautiful one-of-a-kind work of art. Wilton Art® receives a 50% donation to fund future public art projects. (Unless the artist donates their work and Wilton Art® would receive the entire bid amount.)

Auction begins Friday, February 2, 2024

The auction is in PREVIEW from Friday, February 2nd until the final LIVE AUCTION during the Closing Bids Celebration on Sunday, February 25th beginning at 6:00 PM.

You can bid any time between these dates. We recommend that you do not wait to bid. All artwork starts at $125 and bidding increases in $25 increments.

Once you select a piece you’d love to own, decide the way you wish to bid:

  • You can bid the minimum bid

    • If a work already has a bid, you will be directed to bid the next highest $25 increment for this work. For example, if there is a bid at $125, the next highest bid available is $150.

    • If at any time you have been outbid, the bidding platform will notify you and inquire if you wish to place a higher bid

  • You can enter your absentee maximum bid

    • Your bid stays at the lowest minimum amount required to keep you in the lead, and increases, (up to your maximum amount) only if another bidder places a competing bid.

    • Example: If $350 is entered as your maximum bid, the LiveAuctioneers system will place your bid at $125. If someone else bids the next bid of $150, the system will enter a bid for you of $175. If the auction closes and $175 is the highest bid, that is what you would pay for the artwork.

A buyer’s premium of 5% is applied to each item sold.  Sales tax is collected as per state and local requirements. 

Check back often to see if there are other works without bids that you would like to own—it may give you an opportunity for new artwork at a great price and for a great cause!

The auction will close on Sunday, February 25th beginning at 6:00 PM. Each lot will quickly come up for final bids and moves rapidly—it is best to bid before the last minute.
