On Sunday, May 4, Kirkland Arts Center proudly presents our 2025 Auction and Garden Party, AVANT GARDEN. This event will include live, silent, and online auctions featuring a selection of artwork submitted by artists throughout the region. We are honored you are donating artwork for this year’s auction. With your help we hope to exceed this year’s goal of raising $200,000 to sustain and grow KAC’s vibrant arts programs and community events.

This year donating artists can either choose to donate 100% of the value of their artwork, or can select a 25% commission.

For all donating artists, their work will be on display to view in KAC’s Gallery for our Auction Preview event, April 21 st - 25th and will be available to view in our virtual auction gallery. In addition, KAC has scheduled special events throughout the year including artist talks, gallery events and an artist reception to show our appreciation.

Artists who donate 100%:

• will be featured on the KAC website for six months
• will included in one of several pop-up shows in the KAC gallery this year
• KAC will share selected artists’ social media blasts on upcoming shows, receptions and other events

* All artwork will be offered with a starting bid of 30% of the listed value. No reserves. Selected artists will be notified by March 13, 2025 of their placement in the online, silent, or live auction platform.
