Silent Auction
Following the success from last year, we are excited to hold the silent auction again this year. Supporters from near and far can participate in the auction online ahead of the live event. Hosted by our auctioneer on the night, the highest bids from the silent auction will become the starting bids on the night.
If you place a bid but aren't coming to the event, you will be given the opportunity to continue bidding remotely, ensuring everyone has a chance to be part of the excitement.
All proceeds from the auction go directly to supporting the August Festival of the Arts and our Arts for All Programme. Your generous
contributions help us keep these events free, accessible and open to the public, promote emerging artists, and foster a vibrant, inclusive cultural scene that enriches our entire community.
