Bidding for the 2021 Art Auction is open now!

The annual Ocracoke Preservation Art Auction is usually a festive evening of friendly bidding wars and tasty treats. This year, due of course, to COVID-19, the OPS Art Auction will be all online. 

If you'd like to contribute a piece for the fundraiser, it's not too late! OPS is happy to accept artwork through January 22nd.

Bidding is open now and will end at 7pm on January 23rd. 

Bids are only accepted through email to admin@ocracokepreservation.org. No bids will be accepted in the comments section on the OPS Facebook page. OPS will post bids when they come in at least twice a day (bids will be listed by amount, but not the bidder's name.)

All bids start at $10 and increase in $5.00 increments.
