You can own an Arts Alive banner! Here's how:
 
Each Arts Alive banner is available for sale to the highest bidder. Preliminary bids are accepted while the banners are hanging above the street. Banners are then taken down and displayed at the annual Arts Alive Auction and Freedom Days Parade Fundraiser Dinner. Additional bids are taken during this event in a silent auction format.

All preliminary bids will be taken by telephone or in person at the MainStreet Oceanside office. Our office is located at 701 Mission Avenue in Downtown Oceanside. Our telephone number is (760) 754-4512. Normal office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please call ahead if you plan to visit us in person. Minimum bid is $100.00. We will attempt to contact you if you are outbid prior to the auction.

Banners will be on display at the Arts Alive Banner Auction held mid-May. The silent auction will continue until the high bidders are announced. Banners may be purchased and taken away that night. We accept cash, checks and major credit cards. Sales tax will be added to the purchase price of the banners. If you are the highest bidder and not in attendance at the Banner Auction, you will be contacted by phone within one week after the auction to complete your purchase.
 
Banners that do not receive a minimum $100.00 bid will become the property of MainStreet Oceanside. Use of any unsold banners is left to the sole discretion of MainStreet Oceanside.
