How to Bid

Art Auction is a highly anticipated Sacramento tradition that draws thousands of bidders from the Sacramento region and beyond. Established and emerging artists are invited to submit their work for this annual event that features two virtual auctions—the Silent Auction and Big Names, Small Art—as well as a rousing, in-person Live Auction. The fun and festive Preview Party is the only in-person opportunity to explore all works available for bidding!

Each year, Art Auction helps raise money to support our world-class exhibitions and thought-provoking programs, impacting thousands of children, families, and adults served by the Museum. So, remember to bid high and bid often!
