Auction Livestream

The Noble Maritime Collection's annual art auction is a Staten Island tradition. Year in and year out, work in the auction, all of which is donated by artists and art collectors, comprises an exceptional array of artistic mastery.  100% of the proceeds benefit the museum's operations, including its presentation of art and history exhibitions and education programs for students of all ages and abilities.

We are sensitive to the fact that these are uncertain times.  The museum exists to serve the community, and this year, more than ever, we need your support.  For the first time in over three decades, we will not host the auction in the museum, but rather virtually, which has the added benefit of being accessible to anyone around the world.  We are excited to try this new way of holding a fundraiser, and below is everything you need to know.

Bidding information:
1.  First, register!  If you haven't done so, the link is above.  It's quick and easy to do.
2.  Next, check out the catalogue.  You can bid from anywhere in the world using a computer or mobile device.
3.  You can leave bids now through the night of the event by selecting "auto bid" on the individual art pages.  The system will bid for you up to a maximum that you set.  This is useful if you cannot join us to bid on the night of the event.
