We invite you to bring the MCAD Auction experience home this year!
Bid on incredible work by MCAD alumni and friends, mix yourself a signature cocktail by Royal Foundry Craft Spirits, and enjoy a curated playlist–all in support of student scholarships and the Whittier community.
The MCAD Auction Online is LIVE click play below to view our premiere!
For more than 130 years, MCAD has been a creative pillar in the community. Because of the generosity of past Auction attendees, 331 students have received scholarships, ensuring that the creative changemakers of tomorrow have access to a world-class education.
This year, in response to the killing of George Floyd, MCAD Auction Online will support two additional fundraising opportunities: The Black Leadership Award, a newly endowed scholarship for Black students, and The Whittier Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports MCAD’s neighborhood which was dramatically impacted by the recent protests.
Though we cannot gather in-person this year, it is more important than ever to recognize the importance of art and creative thinking and invest in student scholarships.
