LET THE BIDDING BEGIN

FRIDAY 20 JUNE AT 6PM

Tamworth Regional Gallery Friend’s Silent Auction

Art, Bids & Community Spirit: Tamworth Regional Gallery’s Silent Auction Returns – Bigger and Bolder

There’s something thrilling about placing a silent bid on an artwork you’ve fallen in love with. The quiet anticipation. The return visits. The whispered updates: “Am I still the top bid?”

The auction opens with a lively launch on Friday 20 June at 6pm, where art lovers can mingle, meet the artists, and place the first bids. Bidding remains open for 10 days, closing on Sunday 29 June at 1pm. When the clock strikes one, the highest bid secures the piece – it’s that simple, and that exciting.

But it’s not just about taking home a beautiful new artwork. The Silent Auction is the biggest annual fundraising event for the Friends of Tamworth Regional Gallery; a dedicated volunteer group committed to supporting the gallery and enriching the local arts scene.

“This event is always a favourite with the community,” says Leonie Kirkwood, a member of TRG Friends. “People love the chance to support local artists and the thrill of bidding. There’s a real buzz throughout the 10 days as people keep popping back in to see if they’re still in the lead!”

So, whether you're in it to win it, or simply looking to soak up the creativity of our local artists, the Tamworth Regional Gallery Silent Auction is not to be missed. Come for the art, stay for the community, and leave with something unforgettable.
