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.

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.
