"This year, we have over 360 pieces of artwork available for bidding. Each piece is mounted on an 8" x 10" mat with a 4.5" x 6.5” opening and placed in a clear cellophane sleeve. Note that the digital image may vary slightly from the actual artwork you will receive.

HOW THE AUCTION WORKS:

All bidding is done on the Handbid platform (available now) and we highly encourage that you review the Spotlight Auction FAQs first. The auction will open for bidding for all pieces on Friday, April 12, 2024 at 3pm EDT (GMT/UTC -4). The opening bid for each piece is $20 USD with $5 bidding increments. Pieces are divided up in 4 sections, each with a different ending time on Saturday, April 20, 2024 between 3:30 and 5:00pm (all times EDT GMT/UTC -4)

At the designed time, the section will close and bidding will end for those items. The HIGHEST bid will win the item. Note that bidders can place MAX BIDS on items which might result in being automatically outbid at the last minute.

A single shipping fee will be charged at the end of the auction for all your pieces: $15 US/Canada / $30 elsewhere. Please note that additional taxes and duties may apply to non-US addresses.

Please read our auction guidelines for more details.
