About Our Auction
The purpose of the auction is to raise money to support Conroe Art League's Student Awards Show on May 6, 2023, when selected Montgomery County, TX, high school seniors will receive financial awards based on artworks selected by a judge or judges. In 2022, over $10,000 was awarded to selected student recipients. The fundraising goal for the auction is $10,000.
The auction is a two-step process:
1. The Online auction begins 11 AM January 7, 2023, and closes at 4 PM on Friday, January 27, 2023. The artwork in the auction are original works created by Conroe Art League member artists.
The artwork is arranged alphabetically by title. To search for a favorite artist, search by name by inserting the desired name in the search box. (Hint: enter a full name, and note that someone you know, for example, by "Bob", may be listed as "Robert".) You can also search by first name only, last name only, title, or panel number.
The opening bid on any artwork, except a Select 12 piece, is $35.00, and the minimum bid increment is $5.00.
The opening bid for a Select 12 piece is $100.00, and the minimum bid increment is also $5.00.
To see the Select 12, you may enter Select 12 in the Search box.
All artworks have a "buy now" feature. The "buy now" for a Select 12 is $400. The "buy now" for all others is $200.
Shipping is available on each purchased item at $15.00. The details are in the bidding page for the artwork.
2. In January the art will not only remain visible online but, if unsold, will be physically displayed in the gallery through January 27. All bidding, however, will remain online, and there will not be a Live Auction in the gallery as there has been in the past. Once the online bidding closes at 4 PM on January 27, the last bid on an artwork is considered final, and the highest bidder will be notified and invoiced by the auction site 32Auctions.
All purchased artwork will be available for pick-up at the gallery at 127 Simonton Street, Conroe, on Saturday, January 28, from 11 AM to 4 PM unless the shipping option was selected, and the $15 shipping fee paid. Shipping will begin the week following the close of the auction.

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 6, 2023, by making an online donation.
