We’re very proud to present the 2019 Live & Silent Auctions at The Rourke! After the excitement and success of the 2017 Live & Silent Auctions, we knew that we wanted to present another auction experience at the museum. We gained some significant insight from 2017. It confirmed that there was room for another benefit art auction (or two) in the region—so long as they were distinct. The Rourke won’t have art auctions every year: at its most frequent, it will be a biennial event. We decided that The Rourke’s auctions should be a true celebration of art collecting. Our artwork is generously contributed by longtime collectors to benefit the museum but also to place well-loved artworks in the hands of other passionate collectors who will appreciate and care for them.
Collectors, once again, have outdone themselves with regard to the quality, variety, and number of artworks which we have to offer: from the very earliest of gallery artists down through the succeeding generations, there is a respectable representation of our regional art history within the catalog of items (scroll down!)
You can register for the auctions during public viewing hours at the museum (1 to 5 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.) If you are unable to attend, bidding registration and absentee forms are available at the museum (and below!)
