AUCTION and Virtual Gallery
EAC Auction
A reception and silent auction will be held at Eastport Art Center on September 3rd from 4-6pm.
Virtual Gallery
Work will be ready to "Buy Now" in a Virtual Paint Eastport Gallery from September 4 through September 11.
Commissions
Sales will be subject to 70/30 split - 70% to artist and 30% to Gallery. Please consider this when setting your minimum bids (reserve price). Works by youth 12 and under - 100% to artist. We also will ask you to provide a "buy now" price for immediate sales. This is a high-end price that allows a buyer to purchase an artwork without bidding.
After the Events
Artists will be notified after bidding closes on Sept 3 for the physical auction.
Artists and winners will be notified by email of the results of the online sales by September 12. Artists will agree to deliver or ship their art to buyers by September 17.
