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.
