Contribute Your Artwork to KCAC’s 2027 Annual Benefit Art Auction

Donating a piece to KCAC’s Annual Art Auction is a meaningful way to support the organization that champions artists year-round. Each contribution directly fuels exhibitions, artist resources, educational programs, and community engagement—and offers a valuable opportunity to connect with collectors and expand your audience.

We’re grateful for every artist who shares their work to help keep KCAC vibrant and thriving.

  • Who can donate?

    Any adult artist age 18 or older may donate artwork to the Auction. You do not need to be a KCAC member to participate.

    Collectors and other supporters may also donate artwork from their collections as long as they are authorized to donate the work.

    How many artworks can I donate?

    Each individual may submit up to two artworks per Auction.

    If you have more than two works you would like to donate, we encourage you to consider saving additional pieces for next year’s Auction.

    What kinds of artwork are accepted?

    Artwork must:

    • Be an original work of art

    • Have a minimum value of $100

    • Be ready to safely display or install

    • Be fully dry, finished, and exhibition ready when delivered

    Reproductions are not accepted.

    Limited-edition original prints, photographs, and other editioned works may be accepted when they are clearly identified with their edition information.

    Does my artwork need to be ready to hang?

    Yes. Two-dimensional artwork must arrive wired and ready to hang.

    Please do not use sawtooth hangers.

    Are there size or installation restrictions?

    If your artwork is larger than 48 inches in any dimension, has particular installation requirements, requires electricity, is especially fragile, or otherwise needs special consideration, please contact KCAC staff before submitting the donation form.

    What retail value should I list?

    Please provide the artwork’s current value, meaning the price at which the work would normally be sold in a gallery or directly through the artist.

    What do donating artists receive?

    Participating artists receive two complimentary General Admission tickets to attend the 2027 Benefit Auction.

    Donated artwork will also be included in KCAC’s Auction materials and may be featured through the Auction catalog, website, email, social media, and other promotional efforts.
