RAC 2017 GALA ART AUCTION

Welcome! This fine art auction is a celebration of the arts and the Riverside Arts Center! We have a great selection of work from very prestigious artists from the Chicagoland area and beyond who have proudly supported us over the years.

The online auction ends at 4pm on Saturday, October 21st. The artwork will be on view at the gala with silent bidding continuing until approximately 10:30pm.

If you cannot attend the gala and would like to improve your chances of obtaining one of these works, you are encouraged to make a proxy bid on this site. We will bid on your behalf up to the amount of the proxy bid. To secure a great piece with no sweat, use the "buy it now" feature to make it yours now at a bargain price!

Thank you for your bids! Proceeds from this auction provide critical support for the RAC. You may also donate money directly through the "Donate" link on this site.
