ROCKPORT, MASS. — The Rockport Art Association & Museum’s (RAA&M) annual art auction will be a live online-only event on Saturday, October 1 at 2 pm Eastern time. Featured will be masterworks by historic Cape Ann artists.

Over the years, the annual art auction, a major fundraiser for the RAA&M, has become a highly anticipated event. As a prestigious art auction, it attracts serious collectors throughout the United States, as well as those just starting an art collection.

Live online from the RAA&M’s Hibbard Gallery, this year’s auction features works by master Cape Ann artists of the past, including Aldro T. Hibbard, Emile Gruppé, Anthony Thieme, Frederick Mulhaupt, Antonio Cirino, W. Lester Stevens, Paul Strisik, Charles Woodbury, Charles Vickery, Charles Movalli, Hayley Lever, Carl W. Peters, Leon Kroll, Theresa Bernstein, William Meyerowitz, Charles Paul Gruppé, Charles Kaelin, Al Czerepak and Bernard Corey, among many others. The auction specializes in Cape Ann art but is not limited to this region and also includes works by numerous other prominent historic American artists.

The auction, now in its 37th year, began with a bequest by founding RAA&M member Antonio Cirino (1888-1983). Cirino left his artwork to the association with the stipulation that the art be auctioned to help support the organization. The auction quickly evolved to include other historic Cape Ann artists and has been the RAA&M’s major annual fundraising event ever since.

An auction preview exhibition in the Hibbard and Maddocks Galleries of the RAA&M is set for Sunday, September 18 through Saturday, October 1. Preview hours: Monday-Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm; Sunday, noon to 5 pm (Saturday, October 1, 10 am to noon).

Bidding is available live online via liveauctioneers.com (with advanced registration) or by submitting an in-house absentee bid directly with the RAA&M in advance. Auction Sneak Peek video episodes with noted Cape Ann historian and author Judith A. Curtis are featured on the RAA&M website and YouTube channel.
