The 44th Annual Arts Awards Auction

Welcome to the online auction for the 44th Annual Arts Awards.

The purpose of this auction is two-fold. First, it's a fundraiser for the Cultural Council. Funds raised every year at the Arts Awards Gala help to fill the gaps in our budget, allowing us to continue with interesting and impactful programs for the arts and culture community. In lieu of a regular event, we hope to raise funds through this auction, full of Caribbean travel, gift certificates, experiences, and more.

The second purpose of this auction is to provide a platform for our artists to sell their work. Studies have shown that the arts industry was one of the hardest hit since March and many of our artists, of all disciplines, have suffered the consequences.

When you purchase a piece of artwork form the auction, the wholesale price (usually the minimum bid) of each piece of artwork sold will go directly to the artist. Anything above that will go towards the Cultural Council's fundraising goal. So when you purchase a piece of artwork, know that your money is going directly to support a local artist.

The Cultural Council's mission is to enrich life in Northeast Florida by investing in Arts and Culture.
Through programing and granting we assist and support artists and arts and cultural organizations of all disciplines.
