The Art School of Peterborough is pleased to announce its 19th Annual Art Auction, to be held at Princess Garden’s spacious Atrium on April 11th, 2015. This innovative 8700 sq ft indoor park will host our Annual Auction: Canadiana to raise funds to support the Art School Programming and ensure an all-inclusive environment for the community. Our fundraising efforts help to provide programming to enrich lives of individuals with financial restraints, provide art supplies for our youth programs, and ensure the quality of our instruction. Fundraising is absolutely necessary for the school to continue its programming for the community. The generous donations of local businesses are paramount to ensure the future of The Art School of Peterborough.
The Art School of Peterborough is proud to have 31 local artists supporting its cause in its live auction by Keith Monk. Live auction consists of artwork by: Victoria Wallace, George Kovacs, David Baker, Bronson Smith, George Raab, Peer Christensen, Bill Lockington, Anne Renouf, Nancy Chalut, Anne Cavanagh, Art Cunanan, Brianna Gosselin, Christy Haldane, Jenni Johnston, Judy Walpole, Jason Wilkins, Lisa Martini-Dunk, Leanne Baird, Martha Robinson, Rob Niezen, Sandy MacFarlane, Sharon Taylor, Suzanne Burden, Micky Renders, Lucy Manley, David Parson, Peter Rotter, Stephen Snider, Pete Froggatt, Brian Atyeo, and Pam Buckler.

Our Local Celebrities have also helped out by individually painting a 12”x!2” canvas that when compiled together create a large 3’x 4’ painting.
