ANNUAL ARTS AUCTION

Reserve your seat for the CCMA Annual Art Auction, the most highly anticipated auction on the Cape, thanks to the fine artists who donate their work and to our generous friends who make this our most important fundraiser each year.
This year, we are expanding the number of three-dimensional art pieces, Art in Another Form, which includes sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and unique art forms.
Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served during the Silent Auction, followed by a buffet dinner in the tent, after which the Live Auction will be held.
People can bid online for Silent Auction items, which includes a "Buy Now" component for those who just have to acquire that special work of art. Auction art is available for viewing online by clicking here; actual online bidding begins July 28.
Art will be on exhibit at the museum August 15 until the auction event on August 22.
Tickets are $150 each. Please reserve by July 30, as seating is limited. For more information, please call 508-385-4477 ext 7.
The FRIENDS' ART OF LIVING HOUSE TOUR
Saturday, September 20, 10 am - 4 pm
 This promises to be the most spectacular house tour we've ever had. We are thrilled to present five houses in the town of Chatham designed by Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders. This award-winning firm will be displaying their design work in an exhibition at CCMA called "Architecture of the Cape Cod Summer" in November this year. Consider this tour an adjunct that will enhance your enjoyment of the exhibition. This house (left) on Stage Harbor sits on a knoll surrounded by beautiful waterscapes. Based on American Georgian architecture, the magnificent home fits into the picturesque setting and provides a contemporary family lifestyle for the owners.
