This is more than just an auction — it’s your chance to shine, sell, and make a difference.

By submitting your artwork, you’ll gain exposure to thousands of art lovers, collectors, and supporters from Fripp Island and beyond — all while helping fund Fripp Island’s first-ever Artist-in-Residency Program and scholarships for local high school students to explore painting, mosaics, fiber arts, and more with acclaimed Lowcountry artists.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

Massive Exposure: Your art will be featured online to thousands of potential buyers and fans.
You Decide the Price of the Piece and the Split: Donate anywhere from 15% up to 100% of your sale — it’s your choice.
Meaningful Impact: Help us bring more art, education, and inspiration to the community.
Professional Promotion: We’ll market the auction across social media, websites, and email lists — so your art gets seen.
