The Fredericton Arts Alliance presents
For Arts’ Sake
annual fundraising gala and art auction
October 29, 2026 | 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, and the artists set the minimum bids for their works.
All proceeds from For Arts’ Sake go toward supporting the ongoing programs of the Fredericton Arts Alliance.
While you bid, take in live music from Don Bossé Jazz and enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres by J’s Asian Kitchen. Beverages are available for purchase at the bar.
