On February 16, 2019, Laguna Art Museum will present its annual California Cool Art Auction. This will mark the 37th edition of the highly anticipated event with works by over 100 important California artists. The museum-curated California Cool Art Auction 2019 will include original art at great prices, delicious cuisine, and creative cocktails.

Thanks to the museum’s long-standing relationships with California artists and galleries, and their generosity in supporting the institution, Art Auction 2019 will include highly desirable works by both established and emerging artists.

The Art Auction event will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. at Laguna Art Museum, with the silent auction from 6 to 8 p.m. and the live auction at 8 p.m. The live auction, led by Aaron Bastian of Bonham’s, is an exciting, unique event, with competitive bidding in the room and absentee bids placed from around the world.

Proceeds from the event will support Laguna Art Museum’s mission of collecting and preserving California art, providing critically acclaimed exhibitions, and enhancing art education.

Tickets are $125 for museum members at the Supporter level and higher, and $150 for all others. Tickets purchased at the door, subject to availability, will be $150 for members and $175 for non-museum members. Tickets include auction admission, complimentary valet parking, hors d’oeuvres, and drinks.
