Our annual summer auction is back again! We are enormously grateful to the artists donating, and to those who help us raise vital funds for our forthcoming picture book projects.

Below you’ll find a preview of some of the wonderful art we have gathered this year. Bidding for all pieces will open on Monday, June 16th at noon ET and close Wednesday, June 25th at 9 pm ET.

This year, all individuals who place a starting bid for a piece will receive a complimentary subscription to Elsewhere Editions, regardless of whether you ultimately win the piece. This subscription includes our next four picture books, delivered to your door as they are published in the coming months (or you can send them to a young reader in your life)! Your first title will be Quino’s marvelous Mafalda, translated by Frank Wynne.

Proceeds from the sale of any artwork ensure that we can keep publishing compassionate, artful, and inspiring children’s books from around the world for years to come. We’re enormously grateful to the artists who have contributed work to our auction this year. Email Emma Raddatz at emma [at] archipelagobooks [dot] org to ask any questions.
