The auction is silent but The Boat will be bumping late into the night with sounds from innovative musical acts Gravity Wave, Vowls, Southern Charles, and PDF Format.
Art objects on offer include ceramics, prints, textile art, bookworks, illustrations, and photography by a range of talented artists. A preview of auction items, co-presented by Methinks Presents will open to public viewing from October 2-15 at Project 165 gallery across the street from the auction venue. The opening reception for the preview will take place on October 7th from 6.30-11pm.
Local artists, musicians, and comedians Levi McDougall and Sara Hennessy have donated their time and works in support of City of Craft 2008 which will take place on December 13, 2008 from 12-8pm the Theatre Centre (100-1087 Queen St. W). Though the mediums of expression of fundraiser participants are diverse, all support the do-it-yourself spirit of City of Craft 2008, which features community outreach, workshops and interactive exhibits in addition to locally made craft merchandise.
