Get ready to bid big on small art!

Whether you're a seasoned collector or just looking to add a spark of surprise to your home, this is your moment to dive into a treasure trove of small art that packs a punch.

‍

🎨 Why this auction is special
◦ Every piece is created on an 8"x8" canvas with gallery-wrapped edges (unless otherwise noted). No frames, no fuss, just art that's ready to hang!
◦ Local artists of all levels bring their best to the table! Fresh, original works you won't see everywhere.
◦ Bidding happens online, so you can join the excitement from your couch, the coffee shop, or even between errands.

‍

🗒️ How it works
◦ Online bidding opens October 12th.
◦ The LCCA is hosting a closing auction event on October 25th, in conjunction with the Marian Hagins Memorial Art Competition (another great show of local art!)
◦ All funds raised support local artists and fuel the Lancaster County Council of the Arts' mission: to enrich our community through vibrant arts, culture, education, and economic vitality.

‍

✅ Why you should bid
◦ This is a fun, accessible way to collect art! You won't need an entire gallery wall, just a little spot that needs some love.
◦ You'll support artists and help build an arts-friendly community right here in Lancaster County.
◦ It's the perfect opportunity to surprise someone (including yourself!) with a unique piece of art. "I got it at the Small Works Auction" sounds pretty good.

‍

📢 Get in on it
◦ Visit the LCCA website starting October 12th to browse works and place your bids.
◦ Keep an eye on your inbox and your phone. Bidding moves fast and surprises happen.
◦ Tell your friends and share the event!
