How to Bid Online for our 15th Biennial Art Auction | COVID-Safe
Bidding Opens Saturday, June 12, 2021 @ 12pm | Bidding Closes Sunday, June 27, 2021 @ 5pm
1. Buy Your Ticket
If you want to come to the party.
2. Register to Bid
Or you can register to bid without coming to the party
(or watch the virtual party). You just won't get the booze.
3. Ready for Bidding!
Celebrate in-person or virtually. At home, a second device is recommended for the best viewing experience.
​
After you register to bid, you will receive a separate email to register your mobile number and credit card information. It's completely secure.
​
You will bid using your smartphone or tablet, whether you're at home watching our live stream or at the gallery, so don't skip it!
​
When the auction opens on June 12 at 12:00 pm you will receive an automated "welcome" text with your bidder link. Click the link in the text message to visit the bidding site, locate the art you love and place your bids.
If you run into issues, please call 716.856.2717 or email info@cepagallery.org.
You can choose to enter a bid, select the next incremental bid level for the work, or use the "buy it now" feature to secure an item for its suggested value. Remember, you are bidding for charity!
When another bidder places a bid on an item you placed a bid on, you will receive a text notification.
Don't share your personal bidding link or bidding number with anyone else (unless you trust them with your credit card too!)
Bidding closes on June 27 at 5 pm or when an item has reached its reserved "buy it now" value.
