Silent Auction 2025

Thanks to the ongoing generosity of our WA artists, plus donations from Fremantle Press and The Literature Centre, the WA Branch has six original pieces to offer via Silent Auction. All pieces are offered unframed. Each piece is signed by the artist. Photographs are for illustrative purposes only and do not do full justice to the works.
Measurements are approximate.
The Silent Auction opens at 9.00am WST on Tuesday 1 July and the final bid must be placed by 8.00pm WST on Friday 15 August.
The reserve price for each piece is $80.00 and bids will be accepted in $10 increments. The winning bidders will be announced at the WA Branch CBW Dinner on Friday 15 August.
​The Silent Auction is open to everyone throughout Australia, but all freight, delivery or collection costs are the responsibility of the winning bidder.
