Silent Auction Bidding

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Auction at MCAD! With nearly fifty one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork on display in the galleries, bid and expand your collection while supporting the education of young, emerging artists and designers.

While perusing the gallery, enjoy a delightful evening with craft cocktails, mocktails, and a delicious array of bites by Never Enough Thyme, and listen to the soulful music of Daniel "the Violinist" Gilbert. Additionally, the evening will feature incredible local artists, Roshan Ganu ’20 and Jodi Reeb ’95, showcasing their talents throughout the evening.

The Auction at MCAD promises to be a memorable and meaningful event that combines art, creativity, and philanthropy.

Advance tickets for the event are now closed. If you have yet to purchase a ticket and would like to attend, you may purchase tickets at the event, or please contact institutional_advancement@mcad.edu

Event Details

While MCAD students share a passion for creativity, they come to us from all walks of life. With more than 97% of our students receiving some form of financial aid, scholarships are critical in ensuring that our students feel supported as they pursue their dreams.

Masks are welcomed for attendees, but they are not required.
