For two-dimensional art, the work must be ready to hang with appropriate hardware already installed. Wire hangers are preferred. Framed work or paintings with neatly wrapped sides are also preferred.
How to Submit: Please completely fill out the submission form by August 1 (see Schedule below). The optional minimum price is the online starting bid. Indicate this and the percentage of the net proceeds you wish to donate to the Library on the form. The minimum donation is 25%. “Net proceeds” is the amount remaining after credit card and auction Bidding Owl website fees have been deducted. Based on past years, this is about 6%.
