Rules of Engagement
JUMP THE GUN
Opening Night Attendees and Proxy Buyers may purchase artwork prior to the first draw for a premium price (regular price + 25%) starting at 6:00 pm on July 16, 2026. This is a popular event for those buyers who cannot live without a piece of artwork, keeping them ahead of the lottery system of our regular purchase. Ask the salesperson to fill out a sales slip and take it to the cashier. Jump the Gun buyers receive an additional tax deduction on top of the standard 35% rate.
Please note that all artwork is sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
PROXY PURCHASE
Buyers who are unable to attend the Opening Reception in person may purchase through either Jump the Gun and/or the Draw via their Proxy. In order to Proxy Buy, you must submit a Proxy Application to the Museum Offices by July 20, 2027 at 12:00 pm. There is a $200 non-refundable Proxy Application Fee. Proxy Application
