gala Auctions

The live and silent auctions highlight An Artful Evening at CAAM, offering the opportunity for gala attendees to bid on a number of works from emerging to established artists, as well as special vacation packages.

All proceeds from the auctions benefit Friends, the Foundation of the California African American Museum. Items included on the website are solely for preview. Items are not available for advance bidding, thus bidders must do so in person the evening of the gala. The silent auction begins at 6:00pm and ends at 8:30pm on Saturday, October 20, 2007. The live auction occurs during the dinner program, starting at 8pm.

A bid is a contract to purchase all items where you are the highest bidder. All sales are final. The highest bidder must provide a credit card number or a signed check to receive the item(s).

CAAM asks that all items purchased that evening be removed at the conclusion of the event. CAAM will not deliver items forgotten at the event, but they will be held for later pick-up, proper identification required. All checks are payable to Friends, the Foundation of the California African American Museum. The following credit cards are accepted: Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Thank you for supporting An Artful Evening at CAAM.
