Mistletoe Magic

Join us for the final edition of Mistletoe Magic- the John B. Aird Gallery's annual silent art auction- before we vacate our space due to the Macdonald Block Reconstruction. Help us raise much needed funds to support our search for a new home.

View and bid on 191 works of art from 93 contemporary artists. Beginning on Thursday, December 6th, visitors online and in person will have a week to preview and place advance bids for this year’s outstanding collection of affordable Canadian art. You’re sure to find a favourite you can’t live without! You can search by Artist or Medium in both the Drop down list and the Search Box.

Place a bid and check back often to keep abreast of the bidding. Note- online bidders will receive an automatic email notification when they have been outbid! To make sure you land your prize, be sure to attend our Gala Fundraising Night, free to all, on Thursday December 13th, from 6 – 9 pm where the final frenzy of bidding takes place! You can also secure your piece by using the Buy Now feature and bid the full retail price. Not able to attend our gala- no problem. You can place a Proxy bid for the maximum amount you would like to spend and we will continue to bid for you at the gala.

If you’re the winning bidder you can take an outstanding artwork home at the end of the evening or pick up at the gallery later. We have lots of nibbles and cash bar. Please RSVP so we can ensure we have enough for everyone: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mistletoe-magic-tickets-51563500819

(1) Andrew Harwood
(2) Chris Ironside and
(3) Tony Vander Voet, OSA (posthumous).

Please also consider supporting the gallery by clicking on the green Donate button at the top right. You can make a contribution directly to the gallery and as a registered charity we can issue tax receipts for donations starting at $20 and more. Thank you for your generosity.

The Aird is a generous, safe contemporary art exhibition space where visual culture can be shared and explored by an audience as diverse as its makers. Visit us online at http://airdgallery.org/

Please note our online auction transitions to manual bidding at the gala on Thursday, December 13th from 6-9pm. You can place bids online up until 3pm to allow us enough time to print physical bid sheets with the latest bids. If you would like to continue bidding on an item, you can place a Proxy bid (the maximum you would like to spend) and we will continue to update the bid sheets during the gala for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to email stevekhan@airdgallery.org or call 647-784-6820.
