When you visit shop.meca.edu, you’ll be able to view a variety of pieces from participating artists, including jewelry, paintings, photography, ceramics, and more. 

To participate in the sale: 

  1. Set up an account, including credit card payment information, to be ready to purchase when the sale opens online on June 22. Please note, there is a VIP reception on June 21, in which many pieces of artwork will sell, and become unavailable online on the 22nd.
  2. After setting up an account, create a “wishlist” to save any favorites by clicking on the “heart” below all pieces for sale. This will allow you to see your favorites when returning to the site.
  3. Add any item that you would like to purchase to your shopping cart and check out when the sale opens at 10am on June 22. The sale runs June 22-24. As a reminder, purchases are first-come, first-serve and no purchase is final until you have fully completed check out.
  4. Once your purchase is complete, you’ll receive a receipt email with instructions for shipping, delivery, or pickup. Arrangements for receiving purchases will not be confirmed until payment is made in full.

You can see a video walk-through of how to set up an account, purchase work, and participate in the auction here.

During the preview period (June 15 – June 22), you will be able to mark items that you would like to remember by clicking on the ‘heart’. This adds the piece to your ‘wishlist’. You will need to create an account to do so. Upon logging in at a later time or when the sale opens, you can access your ‘wishlist’ at the top right of your window, next to the check out cart. *By setting up an account prior to the sale opening on June 18, you will have faster access to checking out. All sales are first-come, first-serve.*

  1. Shipping – If you select this option at checkout, your purchase(s) will be shipped to you via USPS. The buyer is responsible for all shipping and handling costs.
