Note: the number of tickets is finite, so act fast to avoid disappointment! Tickets provide entry to Over the Top on Sunday, April 7. Your ticket number is also your bidding number.
Attending the bidding kick-off on the evening of Friday, April 5 or on Saturday, April 6 is free, but you will need a ticket to bid on artwork(s).
Artwork is separated into 6 colour-coded auction lots. Check the schedule when you arrive at Over the Top on Sunday, April 7 to see when each lot will close. The first lot closes at 3pm and the last lot closes at 4:50pm.
All art is auctioned by silent auction. Every bidder needs a ticket. Your ticket has a number on it. That is your bidder number. Each artwork has a corresponding bidding sheet on the wall and lists the minimum starting bid. To make a bid, locate the bidding sheet for the artwork. Write your bidder number and your bid on the bidding sheet. Bidding increases by increments of $10 or more. If you really want an artwork, bid higher to avoid disappointment! You cannot remove your bid once it has been made. A five-minute warning is given before each lot closes. A siren signals that a lot is closed. The winning bid must be completely written before the siren sounds.
Yes! Come to MAWA on Friday, April 5 from 5-9pm or Saturday, April 6 from 12-5pm. See the art and bid without a crowd! If you’re just looking, entry Friday and Saturday is free. If you want to make a bid you will need a $10 ticket. High bids placed Friday and Saturday are often successful! Note: bids placed on Friday and Saturday are secured with a credit card.
Yes, MAWA has volunteer proxy bidders who can make bids for you. Talk to a volunteer at the front desk on Friday or Saturday or email [email protected]. We’ll take your bidder number, the title of the artwork(s) you want to bid on and the maximum amount you are willing to bid and give that information to a proxy bidder.
Yes, but please notify the volunteers at the front desk that you are leaving so that we can record your phone number and bidder number. You will be notified by phone or email the Wednesday – Friday following the auction. MAWA is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Yes, raffle tickets are for sale Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are not going to be present for the draw on Sunday afternoon at 4:30pm you can leave your raffle stubs with a raffle volunteer and we will call you the Wednesday – Friday following the auction if you are a winner.
Yes, there will be all-you-can-eat cupcakes on Sunday, April 7!
Even though MAWA has incredibly generous volunteers who supply cupcakes for Sunday afternoon, they simply cannot provide cupcakes for the entire weekend. Remember Friday and Saturday are free-entry and a chance to focus on the art without the crowds. If you want to taste a few (or more) of the 1000 cupcakes you’ll have to buy a ticket and come on Sunday afternoon!
Children aged 10 and under are free. Children over the age of 10 do need a ticket.
