Incognito Art Auction & Party 2026

Exhibition: July 6-July 31, 2026

Online Bidding: Tuesday, July 21 at 10 am through Friday, July 31 at 7:30 pm

Auction Party: July 31, 2026, 6–8 pm

Bid on what you love; not who you know.

The Incognito Art Auction returns with over 100 original, unsigned works by Mid-South artists. Explore a one-of-a-kind collection where mystery meets creativity; the artist behind each piece remains a secret until after the auction closes!

Artwork will be on view July 6 - July 31 in the Visitors Center and Grand Hallway at Memphis Botanic Garden. Online bidding begins July 21 and closes at the exciting in-person auction party on July 31.

Join us for the grand finale!

Celebrate with featured artists at the Incognito Auction Party on July 31 from 6–8 PM. Enjoy live music by Kenneth Jackson, grab drinks from a full bar, and place your final bids on this year’s eclectic mix of artwork. Costumes encouraged! Dress code is anything from elegant masks and whimsical hats to dramatic costumes, vintage glamour, or full theatrical looks. Just like the artwork of the evening, creativity is encouraged and anonymity is admired.

All proceeds support the Memphis Botanic Garden and our mission of enhancing lives by connecting people with plants to increase awareness and appreciation of our environment.

Incognito is sponsored in memory of Vance Boyd with a special thanks to Artists’ Link for their support.

Admission to the gallery show is free & open to the public. Our outdoor property will be closed for the evening's event. No tickets required for entry.
