Crocker Art Auction

Art Auction season goes online with 200 + artworks up for bid that showcase many of the region’s most distinguished artists. Join art patrons, community leaders, and philanthropists from throughout the region to support artists and acquire great works of art, many of which are created by artists in the Museum’s permanent collection.

Support raised from this year’s Art Auction Season is critical for the Crocker and for the thousands of children, families, and adults the Museum serves every year. Your generous support is needed now more than ever, so remember to bid high and bid often!

Registration for Art Auction Season is free, but there are still sponsorships and tickets available that provide recognition and hospitality benefits, like dinner delivered to your Art Auction viewing party on July 18, a private viewing of the artworks up for bid with Executive Director and CEO Lial A. Jones and Associate Director & Chief Curator Scott Shields, and more!

This year’s Art Auction Season has three components:
