Call for Submissions – Art Auction 42

We are stepping it up for ‘Art Auction 42’, the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie’s largest annual fundraiser, which will be held at The Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre on Saturday, April 22, 2023.

We will be inviting close to 300 of our friends and supporters. We hope with your support to make this the most successful event to date. We are asking for artworks to be donated by both artists and collectors. By submitting a piece of original artwork or service to be considered for inclusion in the Art Auction, 100% of the proceeds generated by this event go to support the operation of one of the largest free admission art galleries in Western Canada: The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie.
