Artists, join us March 31 – April 6 for our 54th 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 3 and March 5, 2025, 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.

All information about submitting artwork, including contracts and submission guidelines, is included in our Artist Submission Package (see links above). Submitted pieces may be a full donation or you may choose to have 25% or 50% of the selling price returned 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.
