35th Show + Sale First Night Fundraiser

Happy 35th Anniversary Show + Sale!!

Join us for our 35th Show + Sale Celebration Bash! Discover unique designs, paintings, ceramics, jewellery, fibre, and much, much more!

Entirely run by the Students’ Association at AUArts and hosted on the Alberta University of Arts campus, this program was built by students for students!

To commemorate the occasion, we are inviting AUArts Alumni to celebrate with us, and their original artwork is for sale along with our current AUArts emerging student artists.

First Look Fundraiser is your chance to get first pick of original works! This year, our goal is to establish a student award in memorial of Mike Hooves to honor our dear friend, colleague, and AUArts SA legacy holder who we sadly lost to cancer earlier this year.

On site will be a free photobooth from Dirty Laundry Club (https://www.thedirtylaundryclub.com/), and the return of the candy buffet from Gummi Boutique (https://www.instagram.com/gummiboutique/).

With a DJ spinning record, and a selection of beverages from our friends at Dandy Brewing (https://thedandybrewingcompany.com/), all we need is YOU to get the party started.
