This year’s ArtWorks Fundraiser is, Art off the Walls: Let’s Get Campy, on November 19 at the American Sign Museum! We’re inviting you to raise support for ArtWorks’ mission to create community-based public art that provides career opportunities for artists of all ages by joining the silent auction. The online silent auction for Art off the Walls will reach a large audience, including our expansive local ArtWorks community as well as nationwide followers. This opportunity will allow you to share your work with this wide network of individuals and organizations, while supporting ArtWorks’ impactful mission.
Here’s how it works:
Artists may submit up to two (2) pieces of art, sculpture, or prints on a 50/50 consignment split or donation basis. Three pieces may be accepted if the third piece is a donation.
CONSIGNMENT: The artist or individual consigning the work will set the starting price, and receive 50% of the final selling price.
DONATED: ArtWorks will set the start price based on the donor’s provided value, and ArtWorks will receive 100% of the final selling price.
*There is no fee to submit work. In the event the artwork does not sell, in both cases – donation and/or consignment, the individual offering the artwork will receive the work of art back. There are no size, theme, or medium constraints. All works of art must, however, be an appropriate reflection of ArtWorks’ mission. Please note, ArtWorks reserves the right to not accept any offered work of art.
