Autumn Art Auction

Social at 6:30 pm | Live auction at 8:00 pm
The live auction will begin with a celebratory toast, compliments of Far North Spirits.
Now in its 29th year, the Autumn Art Auction is the region’s premier live art auction. Fifty works of art by artists from across the region and the globe are auctioned off by professional auctioneer, David Gorder. The Auction remains one of the largest fundraisers for programs such as Summer Art Camp, Family Day, exhibitions, concerts, and much more. All proceeds are split between the artists and the Museum unless the artist chooses to donate the entire sale to the Museum.

Free parking is available in the lots surrounding the Museum. When you arrive, coat check is provided and you can check in simply by giving your name to the attendant at the top of the stairs. You will receive a bidder paddle, one free drink token, and an Auction catalog featuring each artwork to be auctioned during the evening. Food for area restaurants (Ely’s Ivy, Museum Café, GF Country Club, Rhombus Guys, and The Olive Ann Events & Catering) are provided in the galleries and a cash bar with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options.

Live auction at 8:00 pm
Guests will be asked to direct their attention to the stage, and the Live Auction will begin. Each work will be removed from the gallery wall and brought onto the stage to be auctioned live by professional auctioneer, David Gorder of Acre Pros. Online bidding is also available for those not in attendance. The Auction is streamed live through the platform. The food and beverages will be provided throughout. The Auction will conclude at approximately 10 pm. Winning bidders can pick up their new artwork that evening after getting their receipt at the registration desk.
