Art Auction Proposal

I am interested in running a guild Art Auction!

This would allow members to auction off custom artwork (or other types of creative efforts like banners, poems, character themesongs) It would be run by Elder Scrolls Exchange and a cut of the gold raised would go to ESE, but I'd like to invite other guilds to participate and to allow players to name a second guild to get a share of the gold, as well as a share going to the artist.

This could be done by live auction, or by silent auction in the forums. Each artist or creator would need to post some samples of their work as well as an approximate timeframe for doing custom commissions. Once a winner is found, the winner would pay the the guild, and when the work was completed, the share would go to the creator and the second guild. This would allow a better safety for both artists and buyers, since the gold would be taken before the work is begun, but the guild running the event would retain the ability to issue a refund if needed.

Depending on participation we could do an auction perhaps early November and then could do recurring auctions if there is demand!

I used to be an addict, buying so much character art in gaiaonline that I made an entire gallery to show it off. Here are some samples:

I brainstorming having an Art Auction for the guild! I love the creativity of our members and would like to showcase your work! We've made forum section to post your art, writings, poems, etc:
tiny.cc/esoart

I'd like to have a live or a silent auction to let our members and maybe members of other guilds auction custom artwork. A % of the gold would go to ESE and donators could name another guild to also get a share, and the rest of the gold would go to the artist when the work was complete. If you are interested please start by posting some samples in the forums!

Any other ideas for creative events/contests or fundraising? Anyone interested in helping to run them?

I think this is an awesome idea! I have not discovered an artistic bone in my body, but I thoroughly enjoy all artistic expression and try my best to support :)
