On March 31, 2007, the Massachusetts College of Art Foundation, Inc. held its 18th Annual Benefit Art Auction in the Paine and Bakalar Galleries.  Collectors both seasoned and new discovered fantastic artwork to take home, delighting in our best showing of work yet and an extremely spirited Live Auction.  With record-breaking sponsorship and attendance and over 325 pieces of art in the Auction, we raised over $600,000 - none of which would have been possible without the support of Auction artists, sponsors, ticket holders and friends of the college.

The MassArt Auction has always had something for everyone, with a wide range of prices, styles and periods both from new and emerging artists, as well as well-known, established artists.  Among the nationally and internationally known artists, emerging artists, MassArt alumni, faculty and students represented in this year's Auction were: Ambreen Butt '97, Nicole Chesney '97, Chuck Close, Sam Durant '86, Sol LeWitt, Abelardo Morell, George Nick, Nicholas Nixon, Liliana Porter, Bill Thompson, Cheryl Warrick '88 and William Wegman '65.

Save the Date!
We hope you will join us for MassArt's 19th Annual Benefit Art Auction to be held Saturday, April 5, 2008.
