Visual arts auction @ Northumbria University

About the auction

Final year students from Fine Art and Contemporary Photographic Practice will be holding their annual auction of original artworks on Wednesday 3rd December, at the Venue, Student Union Building, Northumbria University.

The auction is open to all and is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a unique art work before these budding artists are discovered by the outside world. Many of our graduating students have gone on to establish themselves professionally in the region, as well as nationally and internationally. Will you be able to spot the stars of the future?

Work by final year students, staff and invited artists that will be going under the hammer will include drawings, paintings, photographs, prints and sculpture. If you have got an Athena print hanging on your wall this is your chance to replace it with a real piece of art at probably a very similar cost. All your Christmas present dilemmas could be solved.

Work can be previewed at leisure on 27th and 28th November in Gallery North PS, Ground Floor, Squires Annexe. As well as viewing all the work prior to the auction, you will also be able to submit a sealed bid if you spot something you really like.

Bidding on the night will commence promptly at 6:30pm on 3rd December. I hope you will be able to join us for what is always a very exciting evening.

All proceeds will go towards supporting the Degree Shows in June.

First you have to register:

2. Click ‘register’
3. Fill in your details on the register page – make sure you specify an email address as you will be sent an automated email to activate your account
4. Check your email and click the link (if you can’t find it straight away check your ‘junk mail’ or ‘spam’ as many email accounts filter unknown emails in these folders)

Points to remember
Unfortunately when you are the highest bidder, this auction system does not allow you to make your bid higher. However, you can email admin@visualartsauction.co.uk with a higher amount if this is a problem. If you are outbid then you will have the option to bid again.

Please note all bids are final. Unless a blatant error is made e.g. £10000 is entered instead of £100. Email admin@visualartsauction.co.uk if this occurs.

Remember if you are the highest bidder of the online auction, you have not won the item unless you are still the winning bidder after the actual auction event Wednesday December 3rd 2008.

Please note the auction is for UK residents only. All work must be collected from the event itself. If this is not at all possible e.g. you live outside of Newcastle, then postage and packing must be paid on the item. This price will vary depending on the work.

Photography is for guidance only. Dimensions are in cm.

Drawings, collage/mixed media, prints and photographs are framed and therefore the prices include the frames. Paintings are unframed.
