Bid & Compensation Process
You’re welcome to submit as many pieces as you'd like, but please note that submission does not guarantee selection, as space is limited. Each piece requires a separate submission form. We reserve the right not to include all submitted pieces. Each artist may have up to two pieces eligible for compensation. Selected artwork will be auctioned with a base price of $350 per piece (or $500 total for two pieces), which will be paid to the artist if the work sells. Any amount raised above the base price will directly support REST’s mission.
Please select one of the following:
*
If my piece sells, I would like to receive the base price through check.
If my piece sells, I would like to donate the base price to REST to provide additional resources for victims of sex trafficking.
