Call for Artists 2016CALL FOR COOPER UNION ALUMNI ARTISTS

2016 CUAA SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER


Calling all Cooper Union Alumni artists,

The Cooper Union Alumni Association is calling out to all alumni artists for artwork donations for a silent auction fundraiser to benefit the Annual Fund. The donated artwork will be on view and auctioned during the 2016 CUAA Alumni Award Ceremony on the evening of June 2, 2016. The CUAA Alumni Award Ceremony is an annual event which promises to bring many distinguished individuals to our campus. We believe this will be a great opportunity to showcase your work and expand your list of collectors. This auction is organized by fellow alumni who, like yourself, want to revive our tradition of free education. If you would like to join our efforts and donate a work of art, please see the submission instructions below:

Please email cuaa.popups+artauction@gmail.com with the subject line ‘CUAA Auction’ and include the following information no later than May 20, 2016:

  • Name, year and school graduated
  • Contact info
  • CV
  • Artist Statement
  • Image (s) of work you are offering to donate (1-3mb files max per image)
  • Artwork information (name, size, media, estimated price)

We are hoping to receive 5-10 pieces of art for the auction, if we receive more work than we can exhibit, we still would love to accept the donation. We will keep that piece in our list and contact you for a future event.

Please see the schedule below for important dates:

May 20, 2016 Deadline to submit image (s) of work for donation

May 27-29, 2016 Artwork to be delivered to auction venue
