Benefit Auctions are one of the fastest-growing and most thrilling areas of event-driven fundraising. 

Benefit Auctions:

• Increase public awareness of your organization
• Are more fun than you can imagine
• Raised $16.2 billion dollars for American charities last year
• Require hard work and strong expertise

Living Arts' auction specialist will break down the process and coach your event committee, guiding you past common mistakes and teaching insider's tips and techniques for ensuring a brilliant benefit.  We can even offer turnkey auction services: we procure the property to be auctioned, provide the catalogues, bid sheets, auctioneers, cashiers and clerks.  Spend less time running the event and more time with your guests.

Of special interest to museums:

Living Art also provides appraisal, collection management and fine art auctions.  For more information contact our auction division at 720.988.4982 or auctions@livingartconsulting.com
