About Our Auction

The purpose of the auction is to raise money to support Conroe Art League's Student Show on Saturday, May 9, 2020 where selected Montgomery County ,TX, high school seniors will receive financial awards based on artworks selected by a judge or judges. In 2019, over $6,000 was awarded to selected student recipients.
The auction is a three-step process:
1. The Online auction begins January 13, 2020 and closes on February 26, 2020. The artwork in the auction are original works created by Conroe Art League member artists. The opening bid on any artwork is $30.00, and the bid increment is $5.00. All artworks, except the Select 12, have a "buy now" feature of $200. (Online bidding is allowed on the Select 12, and bidding will culminate at a live auction [see item 3 for details]);
2. Once the online bidding closes, a silent auction will continue at the ART12 event on Saturday, February 29, 2020, from 5 to 8 PM, at the Conroe Art League gallery at 127 Simonton Street, Conroe, TX. All artworks for which the "buy now" feature was not exercised and the Select 12 will participate in the silent bidding. A bid sheet will be placed with each 12X12 artwork in the gallery, and guests may bid on an artwork by entering a bid on the bid sheet.
3. The ART12 auction will culminate with a "live" auction of the Select 12. From all the 12X12 artworks created by Conroe Art League artists for the auction, an independent judge will have selected 12 of the most outstanding artworks as the Select 12. Auctioneer Lyn Howard will conduct the live auction.
The last bid, whether online, silent, or live auction, on a 12X12 artwork is considered final, and payment is required at the reception. Payment may be made by credit card, check, or cash, and cash payment is only in the exact amount of the winning bid: no change will be made and no coins excepted.

Whether you are the high bidder or not for any artwork, or even if you choose not to bid, the online bidding process allows for a "Donation", and you may show your appreciation for the artworks, the Conroe Art League, and provide financial support for the Student Show on May 29, 2020, by making an online donation.
The fundraising goal for the auction is $10,000.
