How do I place a bid?

The minimum starting bid is $200 with incremental bids at a minimum of $25. Sales tax is added to the purchase price. Purchases are not tax deductible.

Silent bidding begins at the Unveiling Reception on Saturday April 19th, 2025, and then by phone to (760) 473-5164 throughout the period the exhibit is on display right up to the day before the Live Auction July 13th. Bid sheets will be on display for silent bids for a half hour until the auctioneer bangs the gavel starting the Live Auction. Come to the auction to make sure you aren’t outbid on your favorite painting. Rich Houk is our Auctioneer in 2025.

These one-of-a-kind pieces of original fine art demonstrate the scope of talent of the artists within our community. We appreciate their participation and your support in attending our events and purchasing their paintings that look great in any venue!
