How do you Silent Auction?
Step 1 - Explore the stunning collection of artwork donated by friends and supporters of New Urban Arts.
Step 2 - Place your bid on the blackboard next to your artwork(s) of interest (including both your name and phone number)
Step 3 - Keep bidding until you win! Remember to check back often as someone could outbid you!
Step 4 - Wait for winners to be announced at 9:10pm. A cashier will be stationed in front of the piece you won, waiting to accept payment and give you your artwork. If you won multiple pieces, you will have to check them out separately.
Step 5 - If you would like your artwork to be wrapped up, head to the packing station where a team of volunteers will help you.
How do you Raffle?
Step 1 - Take a gander at the 13 uniquely themed raffle gift baskets that were donated and arranged by our friends and supporters!
Step 2 - Purchase your raffle tickets from one of our roving volunteers, and accept a pair of raffle beads that’ll let both rovers know who’s raffled. Three tickets are $10, ten tickets are $20.
Step 3 - Choose which basket you want to spend your raffle tickets on, and REMEMBER to hold on to the “KEEP THIS COUPON” portion of the ticket.
Step 4 - Wait for winners to be announced at 9:10pm. If you’re a winner, hop up onto the stage to collect your winnings! Good luck!
