All paintings will be auctioned via Roost Arts online auction platform, GiveSmart. Auction revenue will be split as follows:

Artist = 50% of winning bid (or the option to donate the entire amount to Roost Arts and the School of Practical Philosophy)
25% Roost Arts
25% The School of Practical Philosophy

After the auction closes, unsold art will be assigned a “buy now” price that you indicate (suggested 75% of the retail price of the art). Unsold art will be returned to the artist. On June 28, 2025 3-5 pm there will be an opening reception and presentation of the artists’ work from the plein air walk in the Barn Theatre at the Borden Estate. Registered artists will be required to select their location preference from three zones. A map of the property will be included. To view photographs of the location visit: https://bordenestate.com
