Why does the sale site use auction language? Am I bidding on the artwork?

OMA is using an auction-oriented platform to host this sale, but it is NOT an auction and you will NOT be bidding on artwork. All artwork can be purchased  at $25 plus tax. Once you purchase the artwork, it is yours and cannot be purchased or bid on by anyone else. 

Is the sale entirely virtual?

Yes! The virtual sale of work will start at 6:00pm on Sunday, December 4. Artwork must be paid for via Greater Giving's secure check out system.

What shape and size is the artwork?

The external dimensions of the artwork are an exact 5 inch by 5 inch square. 

Can I preview the artwork before I buy it?

Yes! Go to the sale page here. Click on each item’s photo or title to expand the image and learn more about the artwork. 

Artwork will also be on display in the lobby at OMA leading up to and throughout the sale during regular museum hours: Wednesdays-Saturdays 11:00am-5:00pm, Sundays 11:00am-4:00pm.

Does the artwork have hanging hardware on the back?
