SAQA’s 2016 Benefit Auction will take place from September 16 through October 9th. Don’t miss your chance to bid on 437 beautiful and unique art quilts created by SAQA members. This is SAQA’s signature fundraising event - proceeds from the auction help increase the recognition for art quilts and the artists who make them while supporting SAQA’s exhibition programs, publications, and education outreach. 

 

The auction will kick-off at 2pm EDT on September 16 with Diamond Day bidding - an early bird opportunity to buy ANY quilt for $1000. The 12" x12" Auction Quilts are then divided up into three sections for bidding purposes. Each week, a different section of quilts will be available for bidding, starting at $750 and further reduced throughout the week until the final price reaches $100.
