For Arts' Sake: Gala and Art Auction fundraiser — Fredericton Arts Alliance

\

October 19, 2023 | 7 - 11 PM
Charlotte Street Arts Centre, Fredericton, NB

For Arts’ Sake is a spirited evening of music, food, and drink, coupled with live and silent art auctions.

Every year, this major fundraiser brings together an excellent selection of fine art and fine craft contributions by well-known and emerging artists and artisans from the Fredericton region.

Unlike many charity auctions, our nonprofit organization does not ask artists to simply donate their work; rather, artists receive either a tax receipt for the full value of their work or half of the price it sells for.

All proceeds from For Arts’ Sake go toward supporting the ongoing programs of the Fredericton Arts Alliance.

While you bid, take in live music by Don Bossé Jazz and enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres by Edwina’s Catering. Beverages are available for purchase at the bar.
