How to Bid
The auction is hosted online by Zeffy. Each piece is assigned a number and artworks are sorted into three groups. Be sure to check out all three groups to see all 123 works available. To bid on a piece of art:
- Click on a group below to see the artwork.
- If you see a piece you like, enter your bid in the field provided then hit “continue.” Minimum bids are set by the artists.
- You’ll set up an account with Zeffy who will notify you if you get outbid and will also notify you if you win and charge your preferred payment.
- Zeffy is a free service for nonprofit organizations. They ask for a donation from the buyer and set the default donation at 15% of your price, but you can change this amount.

ARTWORKS UP FOR BID THROUGH SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 @ 11:59pm
About the Show
On July 7, Tropical Storm Chantal flooded Orange County, causing destruction throughout our towns of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro. Artists have suffered loss of studios, supplies, cars, and in some cases, housing. The Eno Arts Mill, home to the Orange County Arts Commission, was damaged in the flood and is closed for the time being.
Funds raised from Common Good will support artists who live or work in Orange County to help them in their recovery efforts. 20% of the funds raised will support our new host for the exhibit, The ArtsCenter in Carrboro.
The exhibit will be on view in-person and online August 15 – September 21. Bids will be accepted through Zeffy, our online auction portal, through Sunday, September 21 at 11:59pm. Note: All works will be viewable online, but not all works will be viewable at the in-person exhibit.
