When buying is truly giving

Premier Access Social Hour: 6:00 p.m.

Need more art in your life? Eager to mix and mingle with others who share your passion? The Auction at MCAD is the event you’ve been waiting for! Bid on nearly fifty incredible works curated from across the country while making a meaningful impact on the next generation of artists and designers.

MCAD students share a passion for creativity, but they come from all walks of life. With more than 97% receiving some form of financial aid, scholarships are critical to ensuring they feel supported and secure in their education. Over the last decade, The Auction at MCAD has raised close to $2 million for student scholarships—helping more than 600 students pursue their dreams.

Because of generous supporters like you, this event shapes the future of art and design while strengthening the creative culture of the Twin Cities and beyond.

Tickets will be available starting March 14—now, what to wear…
