Annual Art Auction

 

 

 

 

About the annual art auction  

The annual art auction is our major annual fund raising event. A glittering gathering of 400-plus guests, the Auction also raises awareness about family violence. In 1994, we held our first art auction at Town of Mount Royal Hall. We had 12 participating artists and 40 works of art. Today, the auction is a major source of income. The multicultural gathering of 400 plus guests is always popular, both for the cause it supports and for the quality of art that can be obtained at reasonable prices. Our artists are a mix of professionals and amateurs from all walks of life and diverse ethnic origins. 

 Art selection

All works for the Art Auction are chosen by the Art Selection Committee, an independent group of artists, all of whom are trained in fine arts, are completely autonomous in their decision-making.  No committee member, nor any person who is not at arm's length to the committee member, may submit artwork for consideration in the Auction. The Committee’s decisions are final.

Thank you for your interest, and your support in our fight against family violence and its consequences.

For further information, please call 514-274-8117.
 
Sincerely,
Sofia Tseretzoulias,              
Chair, Art Selection committee
 

Silent auction

An increasingly successul feature of the Annual Art Auction is the silent auction, a fast-moving, fun event featuring furs, fine jewelery, leather and outerwear, restaurant certificates to Montreal's best, decorative arts and sculpture. 

We gratefully accept good quality products, gift certificates and services. We would be happy to pick up products and display information about your business at your convenience. Silent auction donors are featured in the art catalogue and on our web site by year.

If you are interested, please contact us at (514) 274-8117 or  bouclierdathena@bellnet.ca.
