Online Art Auction for Bushfire Relief + Recovery
Artists + friends for
Wildlife Victoria and Firesticks Alliance

In light of the widespread devastation from bushfires across Australia, we returned to the gallery early for 2020, to help organise an online art auction in collaboration with artists and friends of the gallery, in support of relief and recovery efforts.

All artists have generously donated their artworks, with 100 % of proceeds from the sale of works (less credit card surcharge) being donated directly to aid ongoing bushfire relief and recovery : locally to Wildlife Victoria and nationally to Firesticks Alliance. These two incredible organisations are doing important and inspiring work.

Not only have the artists donated their works, they have set the reserve prices for at least 50% of their usual sale price.  Help us build upon this amazing generosity, to raise funds for the critical work of Wildlife Victoria and Firesticks Alliance.​

Thank you for joinng us, and your support!

The auction will be live from
Saturday, 18 January –Sunday, 2 February, 2020

NOTE: Please read Terms + Conditions below, before bidding

$30,350.00
