Calling all artists to exhibit and sell their works for this popular holiday fundraiser. This annual silent art auction is a charitable event in support of other artists.

Objectives: To raise funds needed for the Aird Gallery’s year-round programming (12-13 exhibitions per year) and to increase the visibility of the gallery, the participating artists and organizations, while remaining free of charge to the public.

Format: A charitable exhibition and silent auction of small artworks in two or three dimensions no larger than 24” or 61 cm (framed) in any dimension. A Preview Period precedes the auction night. During the preview, artworks can be purchased if a buyer pays the full retail price.

Gala Fundraiser Night: Thursday, December 13, 2018, 6 to 9 p.m.
Location: John B. Aird Gallery, 900 Bay Street, Toronto (Bay at Wellesley).

Artwork: There is no entry fee to submit works. Artists are invited to provide small affordable artworks.

The Gallery’s preference is for work priced between $200 – $600 retail. Artists who donate 100% of art sales will receive a charitable tax receipt.
