corrected bannner 2025

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.

Each person who places a starting bid will receive a complimentary subscription to our new Elsewhere Editions Membership, regardless of whether you ultimately win the piece. As a member, you’ll receive each of our next four Elsewhere titles delivered to your door (or you can send them to an adventurous young reader in your life), starting with Quino’s witty Mafalda.
