ArtAttack!

ArtAttack! is Buddies’ annual art auction/fundraiser/art party.

The Truth is Out There. The Art is In Here.

Our next edition is coming up on November 3, 2023 with an XXX-Files theme, a nod to the Buddies XXX auction that preceded ArtAttack! Join host Bruce Dow, auctioneer Charlene Nero, and special guests for an outrageous art auction unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Our live auction features work from some of the country’s foremost contemporary artists with guest curators Golboo Amani, Noor Alé, Jordan Browne, and Troy Seidman. 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.

Early bird tickets are available at $40 until October 1!

Questions about the auction? Contact Aidan, Communications and Development Manager at aidan@buddiesinbadtimes.com.

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