Massachusetts College of Art and Design is the nation’s first public, independent art and design college, dedicated to providing an exceptional and affordable education. In its 34th year, the MassArt Auction is the College's signature annual benefit art auction and the centerpiece of MassArt's 150th anniversary celebration. This beloved event features an extraordinary array of artwork that continues to attract the most discerning collectors. MassArt Auction proceeds go to scholarships and support for academic programs that directly benefit our most important asset – our students. In this extraordinary year, your support of the 2023 Auction is so important, as we continue to address the unique needs of our students, faculty, and the greater artistic community.
