2020 Online Auction Fundraiser
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Benefit for the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild
October 10th-31st
Farms, food, and cultural arts are the San Juan Islands’ community assets. Come lend a hand to strengthen them! Raise a paddle to donate to a special program and show your support at the auction.
This online auction is a fun and safe way to support the future of farms, food, and the arts in the San Juan Islands.
Sister organizations, including the San Juan Arts Council, San Juan Islands Conservation District, and San Juan Makers Guild, are joining in this collaborative event to celebrate and perpetuate farms, food, and the cultural arts.
Celebrate your favorite island flavors, art, and experiences!
The lively online auction features farm tours, great local food, special gifts, and the work of island artists, with proceeds directly benefitting our growers and makers. A top auction highlight is a collection of premium items donated to help raise urgently needed funds for the Ag Guild’s 2020 programs.
Come early to preview the auction and to pre-register. See all the great donated goods, listen to local music, and plan your bidding. The auction will launch on October 10th. You can make auction selections and then up your bids anytime, or set an upper bid limit that allows you to out-bid others automatically. Easy! The auction is accessible by mobile devices or computer.
Call for artists, sponsors and donors
We invite farmers and makers to donate auction items to help raise funds for the Ag Guild’s many great programs. Artists can showcase and sell their work or products as vendors, while making a proportional donation (less than a gallery commission) to help meet the Ag Guild fundraising goals.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 at the October event to help the Ag Guild maintain its programs that have, in the past, relied on Brickworks event rental income. Due to COVID, that funding is not currently available and our main Food and Agriculture Programs need your support to continue. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
