PRICELESS & YOU
Local artists are commissioned to make artworks (valued $500 - 1,000).
At the Priceless auction each piece is auctioned off to young professionals. The
winner of each artwork is the ‘YoPro’ who pledges the most volunteer hours.
These hours are worked off valued at participating not-for-profit organizations.
Each artwork will be endorsed through the year within the local sponsors’
locations and throughout the event’s promotion. Throughout the year, the
artworks will be presented to each winner upon pledge completion.
YOUR APPLICATION
This is an open call for the first annual PRICELESS juried art auction.
Submission is open to all artists working in all photography, painting, print-
making, drawing and sculpture. Abstract, expressive, impressionist and
realistic styles are all welcome.
Successful entries will combine an original subject/concept and feature
excellent composition in chosen medium. This exhibition will not be curated
on a theme but rather the work will be chosen on the basis of artistic merit
and originality. The jury is looking for pieces that will be displayed in homes
& offices that will appeal to the target demographic of professionals in the
emerging generation.

the artwork for display and other noncommercial purposes.
