The Auction at MCAD

Friday, May 30, 2025

Mark your calendars for The Auction at MCAD on Friday, May 30 where you will experience an evening filled with inspiring art, upbeat vibes, and festive company–all in support of student scholarships!

While MCAD students share a passion for creativity, they come to us from all walks of life. With more than 97% of our students receiving some form of financial aid, scholarships are critical in ensuring that our students feel supported and secure as they pursue their dreams. Through the sale of this curated selection of art, The Auction at MCAD has raised close to $2 million for MCAD scholarships over the last decade. That translates to over 600 students realizing their educational ambitions at MCAD.
