The Fifth Annual Art Auction in Support of Gallery 1313

Toronto, Ontario - Gallery 1313 presents Revelry V, its fifth annual art auction and fundraiser. Attention emerging  collectors: This year’s art auction offers you the opportunity to bid on the work of almost 30 artists working in a  variety of mediums (sculpture, painting and photography). This is the first year this fundraising auction has focused on attracting emerging collectors. All work is reasonably  priced (valued at under $800) so that first time art buyers, who have never experienced a live art auction will come away with an amazing piece of work to start or add to their collection.

On the evening of Wednesday, April 14, 2010 from 6:30 - 9 pm the Gallery will be hosting the auction preview event where we will thank our sponsors and allow prospective bidders to preview all the work and speak with the participating artists.

On Tuesday, April 27 at 7:30 pm, auctioneers Perry Tung, Canadian and European Art Specialist of Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers, and Andrea Zeifman will be auctioning off all the work along with other lots of donated items. All funds raised from the sale of all lots at this event go to support of the operations and programs of Gallery 1313.

The Auction Preview Party is by invitation only or by pre-registering as a bidder for the auction between March 9 and April 13, 2010. Tickets for the Revelry V art auction are $10, which gets the purchaser a idding paddle and full colour catalogue. Tickets are available at Gallery 1313 after March 9 or at the door on  April 27.
