MINBID is a collective of Canadian artists hosting electrifying silent and live art auctions in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The artists select a minimum bid price for all work submitted. Then the market decides the true value of the piece through incremental bidding. The event surrounds attendees with great music, drinks and food in the midst of an electric auction. The silent auction is peppered with live moments where work from each artist is auctioned off live to the highest bidder.

MINBID has something for every art enthusiast and aspiring artist. The auctions showcase abstract paintings, pen and ink drawings, Augmented reality art and advertising, print and sculpture work, multi-media art and installation, graffiti and street art, and so much more.
