Artists, join us April 6 – 12 for our 55th edition of the DVSA Annual Art Auction. We can’t wait to once again fill our website and studio walls with work created by this year’s participants.

Between February 9 and March 5, 2026 (until 4pm), we’ll be accepting original art submissions at the school in all mediums – paintings, pastels, drawings, lino/etching/woodblock prints, photography, sculpture, pottery, glass, fibre art and jewellery.

Please consider showing your support by submitting artwork to our most important fundraising event of the year, enabling us to continue fulfilling our mission of offering high quality and accessible visual art programming for the Hamilton/Burlington region.

Submission Package and Contracts

All information about submitting artwork, including contracts and submission guidelines, is included in the Artist Submission Package below.

Submitted pieces may be a full donation or you may choose to have 25% or 50% of the selling price paid out to you and receive a tax receipt for the amount donated to the school (with a minimum value of $20 per item). Plus, your work will receive exposure to thousands of art lovers and collectors from across the Hamilton region and nation wide – all who bid online and, where possible, visit the school to see the artwork over the course of the week.

We hope you’ll take part this year and look forward to seeing you during the artwork intake period.
