About the Committee
The MassArt Auction Committee is a passionate group of volunteers who are committed to providing guidance and support to ensure the Auction reaches its goals and raises critical funds for MassArt students.
Made up of a diverse group of experts—artists, curators, conservators, gallerists, and collectors, including several alumni and previous Auction artists—the Auction Committee plays a significant role in making sure the event comes to fruition and acts as the jury who selects the artwork featured each year.
