MoAD–Collecting through the Diaspora: Benefit Auction 2024

We are thrilled to announce MoAD’s third Benefit Art Auction.

Building on the success of the 2022 Auction, this year's auction features exceptional works by artists such as Amoako Boafo, February James, Richard Adusu, Chanell Stone, Cynthia Brannvall, Evita Tezeno, and MoAD emerging artist Mary Graham, to raise funds to champion Black artists and uphold the museum’s commitment to celebrating diasporic art.

This year's Collecting Through the Diaspora Benefit Auction seeks to unite artists and collectors in a shared mission to showcase and support the vibrant art of the African Diaspora. By focusing on established and emerging artists and their distinct narratives, MoAD aims to foster and connect a global community of art enthusiasts. This event promises not only to highlight the diverse perspectives within the diaspora but also to reinforce MoAD’s commitment to celebrating and uplifting Black art and artists worldwide.

Proceeds from the auction will directly support MoAD’s work to uplift Black art and artists through world-class exhibitions and dynamic educational programs. Together we are playing a pivotal role in supporting the larger Black-arts ecosystems.

Join us to celebrate and support artists of the African Diaspora.

Bidding will be open exclusively on Artsy and will begin to close at (9:00 AM PDT) 12:00 PM EDT on Thursday, May 30th, 2024.

All artworks will ship from different locations as noted on the lot pages. Shipping costs and all applicable fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
