Buddies is proud to unveil its annual fundraising auction - reimagined. This year you'll find the sexy standards you've come to expect along with a curated line-up of contemporary art by Toronto's hottest artists. ArtAttack is a chance for art collectors to catch fresh new work and for cultural trailblazers to take home coveted design treasures and enchanting excursions at a steal - all while supporting Canada's home for Queer Culture.
Buddies has put itself in the skilled hands of three curators, Sholem Krishtalka, Stephanie Rogerson and Ryan G. Hinds, who have scoured the city for hot, smart, contemporary art that reflects Buddies' mandate to challenge assumptions and push boundaries.
This year's show includes both new and established artists who are making exciting contributions to Toronto's art scene such as Chris Ablett, Liss Platt, Shannon Taylor, Kevin Charlie, Tanja-Tiziana, Amy Lockhart, Chris Curreri, Robyn Cumming, Oliver Husain, Cecilia Berkovic and David Grenier.
Also on the auction block, be on the look out for design elements and inspirations from Bruce Mau, bookhou, MADE and more. Every season, independent theatre upstarts clamber for the ever-popular Indie Producer's Package. On offer this year will also be the Indie Musician's Package, complete with studio time, art design, and mixing and recording assistance.
Join our Master of Ceremonies Keith Cole and keep your eyes peeled for celebrity guests along with a host of familiar faces as we relaunch our marque fundraising event.
