Can I donate more than one artwork?

This Art Auction can be of direct benefit to donating artists with a range of donation percentages to choose from – 50% 75% or 100%. We do ask that you consider a full donation whenever possible. Artists must choose what percentage to donate when dropping off the work and indicate the choice on the artist contract.

I’m not a member of the MCC. Can I still donate?
Yes, the MCC gratefully welcomes donations from members and non-members alike. We very much appreciate donations of artwork from artists. We couldn’t do this fundraiser without our valued artist donors.
