How it works... Year after year, some of El Paso’s best local artists and art collectors have been donating their pieces from their collection toward a noble cause, supporting KCOS. This auction is comprised of local art, giving artists a venue and audience to showcase their work. Meanwhile, the funds raised go toward supporting the station that offers educational and award winning programs. Here is a sneak peek at some of the spectacular art we will have available. One of these pieces is bound to attract your eye, so be on the look out for the piece of art that can complete your or your family member’s house or office. *Starting bid (SB) prices are subject to change. The day of the auction, call the number on your screen to start the process. If you have a speed bid number, which you received by calling KCOS during regular business hours, read it to the volunteer. From there you'll be able to immediately place your bid. If you don't have a speed bid number, a volunteer will ask for your full name and phone number. Once they have that information, he or she will hang up and call you back as a way to qualify you. At that point, he or she will ask for your address, which item you want to bid on and your starting bid. If you happen to be the highest bidder, we will call you back within the next two hours for payment confirmation. There's a possibility that if you bid toward the end of the night that you'll receive a call the next day. You may pay with any major credit cards, debit, check or cash. Charging it is the easiest and fastest way. You may pick up your art piece(s) either Fri., April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sat., April 14 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sun., April 15 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., or Mon., April 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Tuesday after the auction weekend is the last day you can retrieve your item from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you cannot pick it up and you don't notify us, we'll contact the next highest bidder. So watch, bid and buy!		Unfortunately, we've been having difficulty receiving early bids. If you sent a bid, please re-submitt the form and we'll be sure to contact you shortly. KCOS apologizes for the inconvenience. Bid early...

Spotlight pieces are extraordinary pieces that avid art collectors would want among their pieces. These paintings are created by some of the finest, best known and established artists in El Paso and the country. Most are also larger pieces that could fill an entire wall. They tend to be the most expensive pieces but truly are at a value price compared to gallery prices. The items considered spotlight may also be one-of-a-kind, giving them extra value.
