More About Tennessee Aquarium Silent Auction 2026
This annual event in support of the Aquarium’s nonprofit mission runs from 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15, until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
From penguins to turtles to alligators, dozens of Aquarium species created the artwork up for bid. Some of these were made in partnership with a longtime Aquarium collaborator. Atlanta-based artist and influencer Andrea Nelson once again teamed up with the Aquarium’s Gentoo Penguins and Collared Brown Lemurs to create exciting new works of art this year.
Bidders seeking experiences over works of art will find plenty of one-of-a-kind outings and activities to vie for in this year’s auction.
