​Over 30 years ago Portland artists, seeing the devastation in their community, united to fight back against the spread of HIV. They auctioned their art to raise funds to support CAP’s mission to prevent HIV infections, support and empower people affected and infected by HIV, and to eliminate HIV related stigma and health disparities. Now, over 3 decades later the event has grown and evolved but their vision endures. Please join us for Cascade AIDS Project’s Annual Art Auction.
The CAP Art Auction will take place on Saturday, May 7, 2016, at Montgomery Park. The event is comprised of two parts: the Patron Dinner and the After Party. The Patron Dinner includes a formal dinner with a live auction and entertainment, and the After Party includes food and open bar from many of the best purveyors in town.  Artists selected to be included in the Live Auction receive two complimentary tickets to the Patron Dinner (valued at $600) and those selected for the Silent Auction receive two complimentary tickets to the After Party Event (valued at $100). Details follow on the process for selecting art and how you can be involved.
 
Artwork
The minimum bid for artwork is 75% of the artist’s declared estimated value. A maximum of 150 pieces of art are selected for auction, and all artwork is juried with the goal of displaying professional high quality, well-crafted art of diverse media. Only one submission may be made per artist or donor. Please note that artwork must be original; giclées, reproduction posters, and other reproduction items cannot be accepted.
 
All selected art will be published online with features periodically through social media and Live Auction work will appear in a printed catalog at the Patron Dinner. If you are a gallery-represented artist, and five or more artists contribute from the gallery that represents you, your art will be displayed together with prominent signage for the gallery.

I  now have the final count on the Cannibal artists and we will be eligible to hang our own wall again this year.  Congratulations to Kurtiss Lofstrom, Jason Berlin, Jo Grishman, LeeAnn Gauthier, Randy Moe, Stephen Walter, and Sylvia Miller who all were accepted into the silent auction.  For the artists who were not accepted this year, please remember that the entry was limited, and each year there is a new curator with a new board.

Thanks for all of the consideration this year, and for the presence that you help maintain of the Cannibals community.  Pictures will be posted after the event for everyone to enjoy, and you may find the list with the offers on the CAP website when they have completed their update.
