Julien’s, the industry-leading pop culture memorabilia auction house, is once again partnering with MusiCares® on a star‑studded charity relief auction celebrating the year’s most outstanding musical achievements. For more than 19 years, Julien’s and MusiCares® have joined forces on this highly anticipated Grammy® Week tradition. This year’s event will take place live at the Recording Academy in Santa Monica, CA and online at juliensauctions.com on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET.

The Julien’s MusiCares Charity Relief Auction plays a crucial role in sustaining MusiCares® mission to provide a safety net for music professionals in times of crisis. Held in conjunction with the MusiCares Person of the Year celebration, this annual sale raises essential funds that help industry professionals recover from emergencies.

While the items on the block pay tribute to the creativity and legacy of music’s most influential artists, the dollars raised translate directly into life‑changing support. Proceeds help fund disaster relief, mental health services, addiction recovery programs, and essential living expenses for music people and their families—needs that are especially urgent as MusiCares® continues to respond to both immediate and long‑term impacts of recent devastating events.

“MusiCares is so proud to partner with Julien’s to bring the most extraordinary music memorabilia to music fans around the globe,” said Theresa Wolters, MusiCares Executive Director.  “Through the generosity of Mariah Carey and other legendary artists over the years, Julien’s Auctions has raised significant funding, allowing MusiCares to provide the essential care we do.”

This official Grammy® Week event precedes the 2026 Grammy Awards® telecast, with proceeds benefiting MusiCares®, the leading music‑industry charity. MusiCares® provides the music community with a comprehensive network of health and human services, spanning physical and mental health care, addiction recovery, unforeseen personal emergencies, and disaster relief.
