Our 55th Annual Art Auction features a mix of online and in-person events! All bidding for the Timed Art Auction is online and opens on April 6. The highly anticipated Live Auction Night will take place in-person on April 10.
Don’t miss our in-person previews which run from Wednesday, April 8 until Saturday, April 11 at 3:00 p.m. See here for times.
All auction artwork is available to view online here.
Early registration is important. Registering a few days in advance of the April 6 auction opening will ensure you will be approved in time to bid. If you are already signed up with Bidsquare, you may skip to Step #2 below.
If you require further help, requests can be directed to bid@dvsa.ca.
When bidding on an item, you may choose to place a maximum bid representing the highest amount you’re willing to pay at the moment. The automatic bidding technology will then place incremental bids on your behalf based on the bid increment. It will always place the lowest bid necessary, but will never go higher than your maximum bid.
The online auction closes in two part during Saturday and Sunday. Be sure to verify the closing time of your favourite items.
Invoices for all items purchased for Part 1 and Part 2 of the online auction will be sent at the conclusion of the final lot closing on Sunday, April 12.
Successful bidders will be asked to make payment for their pieces on the auction site using a credit card. Payments will not be processed at the school – no cash payments will be permitted. Please note, a 5% service fee will be applied at checkout.
Shipment for most items can be arranged for purchasers outside the Greater Hamilton Area. Shipping fees are extra and to be paid by the purchaser. Shipping requests can be made to bid@dvsa.ca.
Extended Bidding is activated for items and will extend the closing time by 2 minutes if a bid is placed in the final minute before closing.
Bidding for all items in the Live Auction is in-person only. Tickets to the night are available here. Absentee and phone bids can be arranged. Email bid@dvsa.ca for more information.
