Artlink is excited to announce our sixth annual auction benefiting Artlink’s exhibitions, program development, and local artists! This year, there will be a special LIVE AUCTION during the Artlink BASH event on October 8th, so make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for a preview of the Items included in the Live Auction this year. Only event ticket holders will be able to bid during the live auction.
Our online auction is installed in the gallery and will be previewed for the Artlink BASH guests on October 8th. All auction items will then be open to public bidding during Artlink's regular hours beginning on October 9th through October 11th. We intentionally invite participating artists to select what percentage of the winning bid will be donated to Artlink. Many talented local and regional artists donate artwork for the auction. We also have many generous local companies and businesses, who contribute to our auction items as well.
