Limited Edition Prints

The Artist Limited Edition Prints were introduced to the auction in 2013. Each year, Buddies commissioned 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.

Check out some of our past pieces below, and see what’s available.
