2023 Cahoon Museum Brush Off Art Auction

The Cahoon Museum’s Brush Off Art Auction features over 100 artworks by talented local and regional artists.

Bid on art, at all price points, starting on June 24th, in support of the Museum and local artists – this year, there is both a silent auction and a live auction on the museum grounds!

All auction artwork is on view in the Museum’s new Garden Gallery with online bidding available at Invaluable.com through Eldred’s Auction.

The silent art auction ends at 10:00am on July 9th. The live art auction cocktail party, a ticketed event, takes place from 5:00-7:00pm on July 8th in the Museum’s gardens with the live auction kicking off at 6:oopm. Bids will be accepted online as well.

Plein air artists will be setting up their easels, canvas, and paint to capture scenic locations around Cotuit village- then offering the art up for bid.

Whether you are a long-time supporter, aspiring collector, or curious about this dynamic fundraiser, come celebrate the arts with the Cahoon Museum! Proceeds support the participating artists and arts education and access at the museum.
