Online and live appearances

Live events

Auction for Climate Action (AfCA) is a voluntary initiative that generates donations for NGOs by auctioning art & design for climate protection projects.
In addition to collecting donations for a good cause, the organizers can also benefit from an image boost, an entertaining contribution and the expansion of their network.
Our auctions are ideal for trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences, markets, festivals and many more.

We are looking for opportunities to raise further donations. A live auction could take place at an event or part of the income from entrance fees or sales could be used for climate protection donations. It makes sense to combine this with other campaigns in order to get enough potential bidders (at least approx. 100) or a nice sum of donations. In the case of exhibitions, the auction would be held at the vernissage or finissage. The proceeds from the auctioned artworks go directly to one of the participating NGOs. The artists are reimbursed for their costs.

We would be happy to work with you to develop a suitable addition for your event. We have partners who will work with us and, if necessary, advertise the event on their channels after consultation. We are happy to take over the planning of the auction from A to Z. We take care of the artists and their artworks, the moderation, an auctioneer and the creation of a detailed schedule and supervision of the auction as well as the promotion of the event on our channels. As a rule, there are no additional costs for the auction. All the necessary materials are already available: Information leaflets, banners, business cards, pass-through cards (to help bidders get through better) and auction hammer with acoustic pad.

Together with your event and our expertise, we can achieve great things for a good cause. Feel free to contact us so that together we can design the perfect addition for your event. We can initially answer questions by e-mail or telephone and send you initial information about an event. Details of our contribution to the event will be discussed together and will then be available online at the respective event.

Here you can view past events such as the Day of German Unity or the Hamburg Originale or view future event announcements. However, individual, smaller charity a(u)ctions, e.g. by artists, can also take place. If we expect donations of €100 or more, we will participate on our platforms.

We are happy to receive blog posts from all participants, participating artists, bidders, organizations, event organizers or locations.
