Cotton Ball Auction

 

Donate your high-quality artwork to the 2018 Cotton Ball Auction. All proceeds go directly to Manitoba Craft Council’s, programs, outreach and operating costs ensuring the continued presentation, interpretation, and production of contemporary Craft in Manitoba.

As in previous years, this Art Auction can be of direct benefit to donating artists with a range of donation percentages to choose from – 50% 75% or 100%. We do ask that you consider a full donation whenever possible. Donating artists are also offered complimentary admission to the Ball Event, where they can participate and enjoy.

Remember that there will be a buying audience at this event interested in fine works and you may consider this as an opportunity to develop a profile with these patrons by submitting prominent examples of your work.
