ART + Advocacy Silent and Live Auction FAQs Q: How many pieces of art will be selected for the ART + Advocacy silent and live auction? A: The auction will include 75-80 pieces of artwork. Q: What kind of artwork does the ART + Advocacy auction feature? A: The auction features framed artwork, canvases, photographs and sculptures of varying sizes. There is no size minimum or maximum. Artists' work will be showcased at the VIP Sponsor party to attendees via a video. Q: What is the price point for the artwork featured in the auction? A: Artwork will sell best if the retail value of the piece is under $10,000. Q: How many pieces of art will be selected for the live auction? A: There will be 6 featured works in the live auction as well as 3 vacation packages. (Please
note that this is subject to change as the event approaches.) Q: Who selects the artwork featured in the silent and live auction? A: An Art Committee consisting of local Dallas artists, patrons of the arts and art gallery directors will select the artwork featured in the auction. Although the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) and the ART + Advocacy team are grateful for the generosity of any artist and/or donor who donates to ART + Advocacy, due to limited space at the event, some artwork may not be selected for the auction. Again, the Art Committee will make the final determination on which artwork is featured at ART + Advocacy. Q: What are the criteria for artwork to be considered for the live auction? A: The artwork must be a minimum of $2,500. The artist and/or donor needs to submit other artwork from the artist that is greater than or equal to the amount of the donated artwork for the ART + Advocacy auction. This provides a price precedent for the Art Committee so that they can make a more informed and equitable decision. It is strongly encouraged for an artist and/or donor who would like to submit artwork for the live auction to send multiple jpegs of their work to Angie Spence, aspence@dcac.org who will in turn send the jpegs to the Art Committee. This will also help the Art Committee in making their selection of the live auction items. Lastly, for a work to be selected for the live auction, it must be an original piece. It cannot be a giclée or print. Q: What are the benefits of donating to ART + Advocacy? A: Click here to reference the ART + Advocacy “Submit Your Artwork” page, which includes the benefits of donating to ART + Advocacy. Q: Will artists and/or donors who submit pieces for the silent auction receive free tickets to ART + Advocacy? A: The DCAC would love to extend tickets to all of the generous artists and/or donors who donate to the ART + Advocacy auction. However, due to the limited space at Three Three Three First Avenue, the DCAC cannot provide free tickets to the artists based on their donation(s). However, a 50% discount can be negotiated upon request. Q: Will artists and/or donors who submit pieces for the live auction receive free tickets to ART + Advocacy? A: Yes, 2 tickets will be given to artists and/or donors whose work is selected for the live auction. Q: Who decides where artwork is displayed at the auction? A: An Art Committee consisting of local Dallas artists, patrons of the arts and art gallery directors will determine where each piece of artwork will be placed at the auction. Q: Will Art + Advocacy feature auction items other than artwork? A:
With
the exception of trips in the live auction, the auction will feature
only art. The reason for
focusing solely on art in the auction is to underscore the importance of
art and its unique role in healing the child abuse victims treated at
the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center.
Q:
What are the delivery/pick up options for artwork? A: Any artwork that is not showcased or sold at the auction will be returned to the artist/gallery. Q: Who can I contact about donating to ART + Advocacy? A: Please contact Angie Spence at aspence@dcac.org or 214.818.2651. |
