Arts Whistler’s annual art fundraiser returns for its sixth year! 

The Anonymous Art Show Buying Night returns on April 5, 2024. Save the date and get your tickets early to Arts Whistler's annual fundraiser. Each participating artist's identity – established creative or an up-and-coming talent – is kept secret until you select your art.

Whether you’re seeking a creation from a highly sought-after artist or searching for the perfect piece to fill a void on your walls, the Anonymous Art Show is an exciting opportunity to buy impressive original art.

The Anonymous Art Show is Arts Whistler's annual signature fundraiser, bringing high-energy excitement to art-buying at a gala evening that raises funds for community art programs. These programs help foster Whistler's arts and culture scene by supporting the artists we love to love and providing opportunities for the community to explore their creative potential. 

The evening includes more than just art-choosing madness! Buying Night features live music, delicious appetizers, a pop-up bar, and a few surprises thrown in along the way. Whether you rock up in cowboy boots or heels, we want you to dress to express. Entry tickets for buying night are $30 - the cost of your art choosing spot or how many you buy is up to you!

TICKET PRICES:

Event Entry – $30
Everyone needs an entry ticket to attend the Anonymous Art Show. Your entry includes a glass of sparkling wine, delicious appetizers, and entertainment. This event is 19+.

Art is an additional price:

The Anonymous Art Show Buying Night features art buying tiers that define the priority order in which you get to pick your art. The art is fabulous, so each tier guarantees you'll take home something special. But the lower the art buying tier price you choose, the greater the risk that someone else could take your favourite piece!

Please note: You may be eligible for a tax receipt! The baseline value of each Anonymous Art piece is set at $100. If you purchase a piece at a higher value than $100, you will receive a tax receipt for the difference. For example, if you buy art at $150, you will receive a $50 tax receipt. If you buy multiple pieces at $50 each, no tax receipt is issued because the purchase price of each piece is below the baseline value. Thank you for supporting Arts Whistler.

Looking for a few new pieces and want to be part of the action all night long? Purchase art in multiple categories, there is no limit on the amount of art anyone can buy.

Can't attend, but still want to grab some art before it goes? We can coordinate a proxy buyer! Let us know at checkout if you need someone to choose your art. We must receive a list of your top 10-15 picks by March 31.
