How it Works

• The Live Auction will be in person only. 
  
• All bidding for the Silent Auction will be online. Get a head start and register as a bidder today; to register and bid is free! Place bids on your favorite artworks! Select your bid amount as long as it is greater than or equal to the next minimum bid shown on the bidding screen, then click the "Bid" button.
  
• The Auto Bid option has been disabled so that we could enable BUY IT NOW for bidding.
  
  
• After the Silent Auction closes on Sunday, May 31 at 5pm, only registered, highest auction bidders will be charged for the bids they have placed on their chosen item(s). Charges will also include final "Buy it Now" item purchases and Fund-the-Future donations.
  
  
• Each auction item will be designated to one purchaser only. Some auction items, such as experience packages, may include conditions, restrictions, and expiration dates on services.
  
  
• 10% Percent Premium: Please note, a 10% premium is added to auction items and experience package purchases. This helps MoNA cover costs associated with procurement. This premium does not apply to Fund-the-Future donations.
  
  
• Auction Experiences: dates for all trips and similar events must be mutually arranged by the Buyer with the donor, unless otherwise noted. All reservations should be made at least one month in advance. No refunds will be issued for canceled, lost, or unused tickets and/or accommodations.
  
  
• If you're a winning bidder, you'll receive an email confirming that you've won at the close of the auction.
  
  

Hot Tip! Don't wait to make your choice! If you want to be sure that a Silent Auction Item will be yours to take home, always use the BUY IT NOW option. The BUY IT NOW price is 150% of the FMV.
