Yes. For the purposes of the online application, you may submit up to five images showing the detail of your piece. The application images do not need to be professional quality. Please submit photos of the finished work that you plan to donate to the auction for jury consideration.

If you wish to submit a professional image to be considered for the catalog, you may submit it with your application. Otherwise, Pilchuck will professionally photograph all accepted auction donations for the online and print catalog.

Donated work typically ranges in retail value from $200 – $25,000+. Significant works in all mediums may be considered for the auction and a dedicated space will be used for presentation of multidisciplinary works at the event. To get an idea of what has been donated to our past auctions, you can view last year’s auction catalog. If you are unsure of what would appeal to our auction audience, we would be happy to speak with you. Artwork will be evaluated by a jury of art professionals using the following criteria to select and place artwork for the auction:

• Aesthetic and technical quality
• Marketability and audience appeal
• Ensuring a range of price points to accommodate both entry level and experienced collectors Pilchuck Glass School celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all participants. Pilchuck encourages all interested persons to apply regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, veteran, or disability status.

We will notify all applicants via email by the first week of July.

As this year's LIVE and SILENT auctions will be limited, if your piece is not selected, we hope you will consider donating again in the future.
