Arts Effect

A fundraising auction in support of VIBE Arts  

Save the Date: Arts Effect 2023 will take place May 11th at The Broadview Hotel. 

Arts Effect is an annual art auction featuring some of Canada’s finest contemporary works curated by a team of arts and culture professionals.

All funds raised, through tickets and the sale of art, go on to support VIBE Arts, an award-winning charitable organization committed to providing youth in under-resourced communities with high-quality community and school-based arts education.

For artwork donations or sponsorship inquiries please contact: info@vibearts.ca

Thank you to those who attended Arts Effect 2022!

This was our first in-person fundraising event since 2019 and thanks to our guests, we were able to raise essential funds for VIBE Arts (and have tons of fun). We can’t wait to do it again in 2023!
