How does it work?

Artists or designers can offer a work of art or object for auction without further fees. Anyone and everyone has the opportunity to bid for these works and donates incidentally for our climate.

With this form of auction, everyone involved benefits! A work of art or design object finds a new home and the lucky owner reimburses the artist and donates for climate protection measures.

What happens to the proceeds?

100% of the proceeds will be donated to non-profit organizations active in climate action and selected by the advertiser – the only condition is that they are generally recognized and cooperate with Auction for Climate Action. Measures for species protection and environmental protection are part of the climate protection projects, they are interdependent.

This means that every euro goes to a good cause. Along the way, the artists get the opportunity to make an even bigger impact with their art. The bidders will forever associate a special story with the artwork.

There are no further costs. Climate protection is a matter close to our hearts, which is why Art & Design is offered voluntary without any fees. The transaction takes place directly and without any detours between the advertiser and the bidder. The proceeds will go entirely and directly to the organization selected by the adjuster.

All creative interested can best reach us on Instagram via DM. Please tell us the name of your of the work, the estimated sales price (if it would be sold normally), the e-mail address and send a photo of it. Everything will be kept confidential and will not be shared.

If all goes well, we’ll send a small question list to fill out and in the end post the work with the description list, square image(s) and appropriate hashtags. We are also happy to receive other square images, for example with portrait or text, to publish them with. You should then also publish/share the post everywhere. You would have to reply to requests or comments and write the current highest bid (if it came via DM or otherwise and not already in the comments) in the comments. If you change your mind, you can always back out.

Please choose only high quality artwork or design objects. They can also be older, as long as they are not in a used condition. The minimum bid includes the cost and at least 50€ donation. The total amount of the minimum bid should be about 1/2 of the normal selling price. Sets can also be offered with pleasure to reach the height. Should also a set from the crafts or similar not come to the height, the minimum donation is 20 €. Please respect the copyright – the work must be yours. Likewise, the photos must be also by you or you have the full and transferable right of use for them. A print-on-demand offering is possible.

Minimum donation (from 50 € (20 €)) + shipping + material/packing = minimum bid (= 1/2 selling price)
