ROCKPORT, MASS. ­— The Rockport Art Association & Museum (RAA&M) is currently accepting consignment submissions of works by historic American artists, highlighting the Cape Ann School, for its Annual Art Auction. The consignment deadline is March 8, and the auction will be conducted on Saturday, May 3 — live online only. The auction preview exhibition will be on view for two weeks prior to the auction in the Hibbard and Maddocks Galleries of the RAA&M.

Each year, this fundraising event attracts serious collectors from across the United States, as well as those just starting an art collection. The auction features works by master Cape Ann artists of the past, such as Aldro T. Hibbard, Emile Gruppé, Anthony Thieme, Antonio Cirino, W. Lester Stevens, Jane Peterson, Frederick Mulhaupt, Harry A. Vincent, Max Kuehne, Frederick J. Waugh, Marguerite S. Pearson, Charles Paul Gruppé, Harrison Cady, Theresa Bernstein, Charles Vickery, Paul Strisik, Charles Movalli and many more.

The RAA&M auction specializes in Cape Ann art but is not limited to this region and also includes works by numerous other prominent historic American artists.

The auction, now in its 40th year, began with a bequest by founding member Antonio Cirino (1888-1983). Cirino left his artwork to the association with the stipulation that the art be auctioned to help support the organization. The auction quickly evolved to include other historic Cape Ann artists and has been the RAA&M’s major annual fundraising event ever since.
