ArtWorks Detroit

ArtWorks Detroit is one of Detroit’s most premier art auctions and one of Matrix Human Services’ most successful fundraisers. For the past 26 years, the artist community has rallied together to raise funds to support the essential work of Matrix Human Services. We are thrilled to collectively continue our impact this year through a reimagined weeklong experience — and invite you to join us!

ArtWorks Detroit’s silent auction will be held virtually from Monday, September 13th at 8:00 am through Friday, September 17th at 10:00 pm through ClickBid. We are honored to feature the donated works from renowned artists such as Frank Kelley Jr., Keith Carrington, Laurie Tennent, Mike Han — and more! 

Registered bidders will also be able to experience this year’s collection of art in person by appointment from Wednesday, September 15 through Thursday, September 16 during our in-person preview days at our Woodbridge location. 

We also invite you to tune into Matrix’s Facebook channel throughout ArtWorks Detroit week for daily artist exclusives. Hosted by returning auctioneer Greg Bator, this special program will include features from select artists and this year’s honorary chairs — Leland Calloway and Anthony Smith, Joan LeMahieu and Jordan LeMahieu, and Nicole and Jeffrey Tate. 

Your participation is more crucial than ever. ArtWorks Detroit has historically been one of Matrix Human Services’ most profitable fundraising events and, with your help, we can continue that success! Proceeds from the online auction will continue to fund critical programs and services for our children, youth, adults, seniors, and families, who are counting on organizations like ours to provide not just hope, but real answers – especially during these challenging times.  

In consideration of the online bidding format, participating as a bidder will be free of charge. To secure a spot and to stay updated with special ArtWorks Detroit announcements, please click below to register with ClickBid.
