ArtAttack! is Buddies’ annual art auction/fundraiser/art party.
Our last edition back was on November 10, 2022 with an Emerald City theme! Guests joined host Ryan G. Hinds, auctioneer Charlene Nero, and special guest (and Canada’s Drag Race superstar) Bombae somewhere over the rainbow for an outrageous art auction unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Our live auction featureed work from some of the country’s foremost contemporary artists with guest curators Andrew Zealley, Tak Pham, Malik McKoy, and more. Plus, the Tuck Shop offers an astounding collection of artist multiples and limited edition prints.
Packed full of tasty treats, sexy surprises and performances, and the very best in contemporary art, our ArtAttack! is a huge and important fundraiser for Buddies and an event you don’t want to miss.

Limited Edition Prints
The Artist Limited Edition Prints have been a favourite at ArtAttack! since it was introduced in 2013. Buddies commissions an artist for an original work, available only at ArtAttack! and prints remain on sale after the event. All proceeds go to support artistic and community programs at Buddies.
This year, we were honoured to present Toronto artist Jessica Thalmann as our 2022 Multiple Print Artist with “Reflections (Highway 407)”. Check out some of our past pieces below, and see what’s available.
