Thanks to All Artists!
Wilton Art® is calling all artists to help as we build public art throughout Wilton Manors. Winter 2022, we will be presenting our third annual fundraising auction.
artsquare12x12.2022
We invite artists to create one-of-a-kind artwork to participate in our third annual silent auction fundraising event. All entries should be exactly 12” by 12”. Choose your medium, method, madness as you create this artwork for a silent auction.
We will be showcasing all artists in a pop-up gallery in Wilton Manors, Florida for a month-long salute to art, artists, and art patrons, from February 11 to March 13, 2022. We will create beautiful walls of art featuring an eclectic array of works by established, new and emerging artists.
Patrons will be invited to bid online. Minimum bids will start at $125 and grow in $25 increments until the live auction closing on 13 March when winners will be announced.
Each artist agrees to sell their work at a 50% commission based on the bid level received. The purchaser takes home a beautiful one-of-a-kind work of art. Wilton Art® receives a 50% donation to fund future public art projects. (Unless the artist donates their work and Wilton Art® would receive the entire bid amount.)
Artwork drop off dates
Wilton Art® will be hosting three dates and times to drop off your completed artwork. We will be located at the foyer entrance to The Commission Chambers at the Wilton Manors City Hall building. After you have completed your entry online (see the Submission Form on this page), you can drop it off at one of the following dates:
Saturday, January 15, 10:00 am until noon
Saturday, January 29, 10:00 am until noon
Thursday, February 3, 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm
After the drop-off, we will catalog, photograph, and secure your artwork until the exhibition.

Wilton Art® artsquare12x12.2022 will start with a preview on February 11, 2022, and last four weeks. Anyone can view and bid during this auction preview time.
Pop-up Gallery & Live Auction
Friday, February 11, 2022, at TBD AM EDT the artsquare12x12.2022 auction will go live. Wilton Art® will host an opening reception that evening at a pop-up gallery presented by Pride Corner Art & Frame in Wilton Manors.
