Silent/Live Auction
- Silent Auction starts at noon on Friday and ends at 6:00 pm on Saturday. (Times subject to change)
- All pieces with 2 or more bids will go straight to live auction.
- Pieces with one written bid will be sold to that bidder.
- All pieces on Sunday with no bids will be sold for the after auction price specified by the artist. If an after auction price is not specified then the piece will be sold for the direct sale price.
Bidders:
- All bidders must pay a $10 refundable fee to get a bidder number. If you do not bid or win anything we will refund the $10. If you do win a piece in the auction then we will put it towards your payment.
- The fee is placed to protect the artists and insure that we have serious bidders only.
- If you win a piece and do not pay for the art then your $10 deposit will go to the artist on whose piece you bid.
- All direct sale pieces may be picked up on the spot. We understand that you may want to take the artwork home with you right away and encourage direct sales to insure that you get the piece.
- All pieces with 1 bid may be picked up Saturday night at the live auction (either before it starts or after it ends) or Sunday morning between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.
- All bids must be in full dollar increments. We will round all the bids up if you choose not to follow the rules and guidelines.
- All silent auction bidding will end on Saturday at 6:00 pm. No artwork (with the exception of direct sales) will be allowed to be taken out at that time. The Art Show staff will sort through every piece with bids and bring it to the live auction that evening, where it may be picked up.
- We will accept payments in cash only so that we can pay the artists right away. Please allow yourself plenty of cash if you plan on bidding and fighting for your pieces at a live auction (and don’t forget about sales tax).
