For Arts’ Sake is a highly anticipated event, and the Roxbury Arts Group’s largest annual fundraiser.

Bidding on For Arts’ Sake items ends on Saturday, October 2nd at 11:45 PM.
Be part of the excitement at one of the two live Bidding Parties at the Roxbury Arts Center on Saturday, October 2.

FAQs
What are the types of bids you can place?
An exact bid is the amount you want the item’s current selling price to immediately jump to. Your bid amount will not change as additional bids are entered on the item.
A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount you’re willing to spend with the goal of winning the item at the lowest possible price. The system will bid for you, up to your maximum proxy bid amount, as additional bids are entered on the item.
How do you enter a proxy bid or an exact bid?
To enter a proxy bid, enter your maximum bid amount, click the Proxy Bid button, and then submit your bid.
To enter an exact bid, enter your bid amount, click the Exact Bid button, and then submit your bid.
When you win an item, you will be contacted by a staff member of the Roxbury Arts Group in the days following the close to For Arts’ Sake to arrange for payment of your item. At that time, you can arrange for shipping at an addition fee.
