Looking for new art and want to support local artists? The 53rd annual Juried Art Show (JAS) is hosting its virtual Silent Auction from Monday, February 15th to Sunday, February 28th 2021.

The artworks in this year’s auction have been generously donated from University of Guelph faculty, MFA, undergraduate students, and recent alumni. Works will be available for viewing on our website this Friday, February 5th, and bidding will begin on our Instagram (@juriedartshow) on Monday February 15th. There will be seven groups of 45+ artists, with each group of works being available for two days. 

How Do I Bid?

Each bidding period will open at 8:00 AM EST on the first day of each group and close on the second day at 6:00 PM EST.

Bids will be made on each artworks Instagram post by using the comment feature. If you do not have Instagram, or wish to remain anonymous, you can bid by sending a direct message on Instagram, or by emailing your bid to the JAS email (jas@uoguelph.ca). If you choose to bid through email, please include the title of the work you are bidding on, the artist, and your bid amount. Please note that the Instagram comments will be the most up to date version of the bid.

All bids will be processed in CAD, and payment can be made via e-transfer to jas@uoguelph.ca. The winning bid will have 24 hours after they have received their confirmation to issue their payment. The winning bid excludes shipping/delivery, if it is needed. To collect your work after payment, please send us an email at jas@uoguelph.ca and state whether you will be picking up the artwork or need it to be shipped.
