Repair Days Art Auction 2009


The Art Auction will take place on Saturday, October 10. The silent auction and live auction preview will open that afternoon, and the live auction will take place that evening.  It's sure to be a good time - don't miss the show!

Metalsmiths from around the country, many of whom also volunteer during Repair Days, donate artwork, and an assortment of oddities from their collections.  As items are donated, we will update this page.

If you see something that you can't live without, you may be able to own it without the stress of bidding.  This year we've instituted a Buy it Now option during the silent auction.  Just pay the listed Buy It Now price, and the item is yours immediately - no more hovering near the bid sheet waiting to see if you're outbid.

If you won't be able to attend the auction but would still like to place a bid, click here for information on proxy bidding.
