Spotlighting emerging and established artists, the Verge Art Auction is a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates Sacramento talents and California’s unique contemporary arts scene.
This year, we are proud to present a hybrid auction designed to keep our community safe + celebrate the best and brightest artistic talents in our region. Auction artwork will be on view at Verge from November 4 to November 19 during normal gallery hours, and can be bid on via our auction partners at ClickBid. Setting up a bidder profile is fast, free, and easy!

Sponsors will be treated to the ultimate VIP experience, complete with custom cocktails, delectable treats, and that singularly Verge party vibe. Can’t sponsor this year? You can still get your bids in! We’ll be streaming our live auction online and bidders at home will be able to go head-to-head with in-person bidders in real time.
