CONNECT through ART

This is a special year for us as we have fostered and promoted the Arts in our community at the Silk Purse Arts Centre for 30 years!

To celebrate this special year and to raise funds for our future free Community Engagement Programs such as the First Thursday Art Walks and Singing by the Sea, we are presenting this CONNECT through ART Online Auction!

For 11 days, you can bid on an extraordinary array of auction items, including stunning artisan items, thrilling one-of-a-kind experiences, and luxurious gift baskets & gift cards from local retailers.

The most exciting feature of this year's auction is 15 of 21 canvases that were painted at community art participation stations located at the Ferry Building Gallery, Silk Purse Gallery, West Vancouver Art Museum and Buckland Southerst Gallery during the inaugural First Thursday Art Walk in 2019 with guidance from artists Jane Appleby, Maggie Caunt, Wanda Doyle, Sonia Mocnik & Cathy Roddie.

Winners with the highest bid will be contacted for payment and to arrange pick-up.

Make a bid, so you can continue to support the arts and culture in West Vancouver!

Established in 1968, the West Vancouver Community Arts Council (WVCAC), a not-for-profit organization, has provided opportunities for all North Shore residents and visitors to enjoy and participate in cultural activities, deliver visual, literary and performing arts programs, foster interest in our diverse cultural heritage, and support the many talented individuals living and working in our community. The WVCAC has been based out of the Silk Purse Arts Centre on the waterfront beside John Lawson Park at 1570 Argyle Avenue since 1991.
