2026 MoNA Art Auction

MoNA celebrates its 45th anniversary with the 2026 Art Auction, the museum's largest fundraiser of the year. The auction raises essential funds to support MoNA's mission to collect, preserve, interpret and exhibit art created in the Pacific Northwest, support artists, and integrate art into the lives of all people. Proceeds support art education programs, exhibitions, and the Permanent Collection, enabling MoNA to offer admission-free access to Northwest art year-round.

The 2026 Art Auction will be juried by Jessica Wilks, Director of Curatorial at Tacoma Art Museum, who brings more than 20 years of museum experience and expertise in Pacific Northwest art. The auction will showcase 250+ exceptional works of art and unique experience packages available for bidding in Silent and Live auctions. Artists selected for either auction will receive recognition and reach an audience of influential community leaders and arts patrons through MoNA's extensive marketing campaign.

Submit high-quality images (JPEG or PNG, 300 dpi or greater) of artworks for consideration. Only one work per artist will be selected. Event dates: Submission Deadline March 22, 2026; Auction Preview May 16-29, 2026; Live Auction May 30, 2026.
