Sausalito Art Festival Juried Online Aucton

Bid. Donate. Support the arts

Bidding Ended Nov. 5

The Sausalito Art Festival Foundation is proud to bring to auction a body of work from juried artists from around the nation who have been widely recognized for their talent. Now is your chance to get a piece of artwork from some of the most beloved artists in the country.

Throughout 60-plus years, the iconic Sausalito Art Festival developed a loyal following of patrons and artists who remember it fondly, and yearn for its return. In fact, rarely does a day go by when we’re not asked “when is the Sausalito Art Festival coming back?”

In 2021, a homeless encampment moved into Marinship Park, the location of the Sausalito Art Festival, and the Festival was canceled for obvious reasons. Since then, the Sausalito Art Festival Foundation has been fulfilling it’s mission to “encourage, promote and support the arts for the community,” by producing art centric events of various types.

While we are not sure when the park will be ready to host the live Sausalito Art Festival, the Sausalito Art Festival Foundation is connecting its artists with its art-loving-patrons via this online auction.

The Sausalito Art Festival Foundation (SAFF), has juried artists from around the nation, and is proud to exhibit this body of work from artists who are rich in awards from leading festivals near and far. It’s your opportunity to explore works of art from the best festival artists around, from the comfort of your home.

Bidding will run October 29 - November 5 at which time the auction site will be open.
