Now in its 17th year, the 20x20 ART EXHIBITION AND SILENT AUCTION is an annual fundraiser designed to celebrate art and support AMoA’s innovative education programs as well as our local artist community. 

This year, AMoA is looking forward to welcoming patrons back to the museum for a 20 x 20 reception on Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 6:30-8:30pm.  Artworks will be sold to the highest bidder with bids starting at $150.  For those AMoA patrons who are hesitant to gather in large groups, this year’s exhibition will be installed for museum visitors to view for two days, March 29-30.  Images of the artworks will also be featured on the AMoA website where they can be viewed, and bid on, from the comfort of a home computer, smartphone or tablet.  Although we will be gathering together in person, all bidding will take place online and bidding will end at 8:30pm on Thursday, March 30, 2023. 

The exhibition will include artworks from invited artists, as well as work from artists juried into the exhibition.  For the juried segment, anyone who wants to submit a 20 x 20-inch artwork to be juried by the AMoA Alliance 20 x 20 Committee is eligible to participate.  Please pass along this opportunity to be juried into the exhibition to other artists you think may want to participate. 

AMoA’s gallery space and online format limits the number of artworks in the exhibition to approximately 60 with the following targets:

• 30 artworks from artists invited to participate.
• 30 artworks from artists selected by jury to participate. 

 The artworks in the exhibition will be sold via silent auction at a starting bid of $150. Fifty percent of the sale price will help fund educational programming at AMoA and fifty percent will go to the artist.  Artists may choose to donate their proceeds to AMoA. 

The generosity and support shown by artists participating in this event is vital to our museum and greatly appreciated by the AMoA Board of Trustees, Alliance, and staff. Participation in this event enables AMoA to continue bringing first-class art programming to area schools.
