Fundraising auction

Bidding open from 14th October 2011 (in gallery & online) until live auction in November 2011

We are holding an auction as part of our major fundraising drive towards the continuation and development of Globe in our new Newcastle City Centre premises. We have been at the forefront of contemporary art in the North East for more than seventeen years and have been an Arts Council RFO for the past six years but were unfortunately not awarded NPO status this year.

We are therefore asking artists and arts organisations to donate an art work for our auction.  We also hope the auction will make a great show when it opens in October 2011.  The show is one of three to relaunch our new space (see above for more info) but the auction catalogue will also be available online.  Bids can  be placed by visiting the gallery or via our online catalgoue.  There will then be a live auction in late November that should make for an exciting evening.

The auction aims to ensure we build on our unique offer to audiences and participants across the North East of England.  We are pleased that we have already received donations in support of our organisation from artists including Douglas Gordon, Mike Nelson, Fiona Banner, Jane and Louise Wilson, Franko B, Mark Fairnington, Stefan Gec and many other artists.
