BEING Studio Creative Bloom Art Auction

BEING Studio is a diverse community of artists with developmental disabilities. At BEING, artists have access to the studio space, the tools, and the representation to create and commercialize their visual art.

Your purchase of original artworks supports an accessible art community, and helps BEING grow and sustain vital programming.

You can invest in both artists and BEING studio through your participation in this art auction. Artists receive 60% of the total sale of original art (unless they have donated the work), while the remaining balance is reinvested into BEING's community needs.

View our auction items in person at 651 Somerset St. W., Ottawa, ON (Shanghai Interim Community Window Gallery) from May 19th - June 5th 2025! Then, join us at the BEING Studio Spring Shop at 211 Bronson Ave, Room 304 for the last day of the art auction on Sunday June 1st, 2025. Make a bid for a more accessible artworld!
