Fraser Valley – The Wildlife Protection Club at UFV are organizing the second Art for Wildlife showcase and art auction.
Last year’s event was highly successful and organizers received 40 art pieces and raised over $4,000 for the Fraser Valley Conservancy.
If you’d like to donate, or know someone who would, you can do so before September 1st:
This event is hosted by the University of the Fraser Valley Wildlife Protection Club.
The Art
● Art submissions will be gifted to the UFV Wildlife Protection Club and 90% of the proceeds from their sale will go to the non-profit organization, the Fraser Valley Conservancy. The other 10% of the proceeds will be paid to Givergy, the online platform used to host the silent auction.
● Art should be wildlife or nature themed
● Art of any medium will be considered including but not limited to painting, photography, pottery, and sculpture (please no AI generated art).
● Art must be no larger than 4ft by 4ft
● Original artwork is preferred, but prints are also welcome
● You have the choice to either:
a) submit your art for sale with fixed price (recommended for art of value less than $50)
b) submit your art in a silent auction with a minimum bid amount (typically 30-50% fair market value)
● If you are unsure of how to value your art, you can choose to have a panel of 4th year Visual Art students assess your piece and assign a value.
● Any unsold artwork must be collected by the artist from the UFV Abbotsford Campus following the event
