Come along to bid on your favourite artwork to take home and cherish. This is an annual fundraising auction focused on supporting graduating students.
Notes for the night
We're sorry to say that, unfortunately due to being a very old building there is no wheelchair access for this event.
If you're having trouble locating the event, you can get there by heading down the alleyway next to the Swanston St Eckersley's.
Full payment for the artwork will be needed on the night. Eftpos will be available. We would also like to remind visitors to bring cash for the raffle.
What's Happening?
We will be auctioning off some amazing works from not only the graduating class of the 2023 RMIT print studio, but work from teachers, alumni, and industry professionals! Viewing starts at 6pm, with the auction hitting off at 7pm sharp.
There will be live music and even a raffle that can be entered and will be drawn later in the evening. The main event of the evening will of course be the auction, with all works sold being wrapped at the event so that you can take home your newly purchased art! So remember, if you purchase something on the night, be sure to stick around to collect it at the end!
