General Information About the CCAF Art Auction
Proceeds from the Art Auction benefit the Cherry Creek Arts Festival's extensive year-round education and outreach programs. Through efforts such as the Mobile Art Gallery and the Artist in Residence workshops, the Arts Festival has touched the lives of over 100,000 members of our community in area schools, at-risk programs and senior centers. By simply placing a bid with the Art Auction, you can help the Arts Festival continue to reach out to more individuals in the coming year. For more information on the Arts Festival's year-round art outreach programs, click here http://podcast.cherryarts.org/2007/04/15/mobile-art-collection.
Specialized software developed for CCAF has helped to make the Auction user friendly and convenient for all users. Individuals can bid on-site, by going to the Art Auction Gallery and utilizing a laptop computer, or can bid from the comfort of their own homes. In fact, individuals can bid from anywhere that they have Internet access at http://www.cherryartsauction.org/. NEW Art Auction Gallery Location and Hours of Operation
The CCAF Art Auction web site allows you to:
Bidding closes between 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Monday, July 4th. Each item has a specific closing time. This time is posted on the placard identifying the original artwork. It is also listed on the bidding page for the item. To find the bidding page for an item, click on the VIEW ART/BID button at the top of your screen. The system will automatically stop accepting bids at the designated closing time for each item. However, that does not mean that all bids submitted just before the closing time will be recognized. Because it can take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes for the Internet to relay a bid to the system, last-minute bids may not arrive at and be recognized by the system before the cutoff time. Keep in mind that there is a delay between recognition and display of bids, so the bid shown on your screen at the closing time may not be the actual winner. Also, please remember that not all clocks are synchronized to Greenwich Mean Time, so your watch or the clock on your computer may not indicate the same time as the clock on the auction system.
If you win a bid, you will need to arrange to pick up your artwork from the Arts Festival Office or have the artwork shipped to you. You can also complete your purchase at the Arts Festival Offices. The CCAF Office is located at 2 Steele St., B100 (corner of Steele and Ellsworth directly east of Cherry Creek Shopping Center in the Bank of the West Building). Contact phone number: 303.355.2787, ext. 200 or 219. Please call to setup an appointment to pick up your artwork. Hours of Operation
