The annual Benefit Auction is SAQA's premier fundraising event! All proceeds help support SAQA's exhibition programs, publications, and education outreach. Plus, your purchase helps increase the recognition for art quilts and the artists who make them.
This year's auction will take place online from September 11 through October 4 and will include over 360 pieces of 12"x12" artwork! We will be using the Handbid platform for bidding. Please review the Auction FAQs to learn more how the auction works.

All pieces are now available for $1000 for Diamond Day - the first bidder will win! Unless otherwise noted, all pieces are 12 inches square.
The rest of this reverse-price auction is divided into three sections, with a new section open each Monday:
Section 1: Sept 14 - Sept 20
Section 2: Sept 21 - Sept 27
Section 3: Sept 28 - Oct 4
Bid prices start at $750 per quilt and drop each day at 2pm EDT (GMT/UTC -4) Monday through Friday. The following Monday, the bidding pattern repeats until the auction closes on October 5. Once a section ends, the remaining pieces will be available for $100 until mid-December.
Shipping will be added to each order: $20 US / $40 non-US. Multiple purchases will be combined into a single shipment. Customs fees and additional taxes may apply to non-US addresses upon delivery.
