Donations for KCAC’s
2025 Annual Art Auction

KCAC's Annual Art Auction serves as the primary source of support for the organization. Each year, hundreds of artists in our community generously donate artwork to this annual fundraiser. These donations help support KCAC and act as an endorsement for this grassroots arts organization.

KCAC is proud to be an artist-centered, artist-run, and artist-endorsed organization!

  • Who can donate?
    Any adult artist can donate. Artists do not have to be members.

    About the Artwork
    Artists should only give ONE piece to the auction - so pick the best!

    Donations are encouraged to be at least $100 retail value. List retail price on the label (What it would be sold for in a retail gallery).

    Size maximum of 48″ in any dimension. If wishing to donate a larger artwork, please contact a member of the KCAC team for approval.

    Must be original work (no reproductions or open edition prints).

    2D artworks MUST be wired and/or ready to hang

    KCAC determines placement in Auction (Silent or Live). KCAC will determine the BUYOUT price which allows the seller to purchase the work prior to auction at a price listed over the retail value.

    Benefits of Donating
    Donating artists receive two gratis General Admission tickets to attend the Auction.

    Auction ticket prices:
    o $40 if purchased on or before February 1, 2025
    o $50 after February 1, 2025 or at the door on Auction Night

    What is the benefit of donating early?
    Names that we get by the Pledge deadline (Dec. 21st) will be listed on the Auction announcement. KCAC cannot guarantee that late pledges will make it on the announcement; however, they will be listed in the auction program.
