Behringer-Crawford Museum
Are you, or do you know of someone who is interested in participating in Behringer-Crawford Museum’s freshART 2025 event that supports youth educational programs?
Here is information on how to apply!
Our freshART event has two juried components:
An online silent auction, and a live auction at the event on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
1) silentART auction entries must be original paintings, sculpture, jewelry, woodcrafts
or other works created in the last 12 months, and the artist may suggest a recommended
minimum bid.
2) The freshART live auction presents selected artists who will start their work en plein
air in Devou Park mid-August and have 10 days to complete and submit the finished
work to the Museum for public viewing prior to the live auction at the event.
All work must be framed or finished for both auction displays and sales.
Artists must be 18 years or older, submit one item, and donate a portion of their
item’s auction sales to the museum. Behringer-Crawford Museum makes no
guarantee that the artist’s work will be sold, and any unsold item will be returned
to the artist.
