MoNA's 31st annual auction June 10

The Museum of Northwest Art’s annual auction, biggest fundraiser of the year, takes place at the First Street museum Saturday, June 10, but you can preview – and bid – on the over 300 works of art now, online.

“Share the Magic of Northwest Art!” is the theme of the 31st annual auction, which raises funds for exhibitions, the art collection, and transformative educational and outreach programs.

Tickets are $100. Saturday, start as early as 4 p.m. to browse and join in this “pre-dinner” party with its hors d’oeuvres, oyster bar and wines. Bidding starts at 5 p.m. at MoNA and online. All bidding is by cellphone.

Silent bidding has started and will continue through 8 p.m. June 11. Preview daily on-site, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
