About the Online Auction
This year our Interactive Virtual Gala will feature a stellar group of artists who will be auctioning their work. We are featuring artworks valued from $500 - $7,500 and 50% of the final bid will go as a commission to the artist.
The silent auction opens on Friday, November 6th and will close in two rounds. The first round of items will close at the end of the Interactive Virtual Gala at 10 pm (CST) on Saturday, November 21st. The final round of items will close at 8 pm (CST) on Sunday, November 22nd.
