Arts Whistler’s annual art fundraiser returns for its 7th year! 

Mark your calendars—The Anonymous Art Show Buying Night is back on April 4, 2025! 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 hunting for a masterpiece by a sought-after artist or the perfect piece to complete your space, The Anonymous Art Show is an exciting and accessible way to collect 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. 

More than just an art sale, Buying Night is a vibrant gala experience featuring music by Dj Foxy Moron, an indulgent spread by Picnic Whistler, pop-up bar, and a few surprises along the way. Come dressed to express—whether that’s cowboy boots or cocktail attire! Entry tickets for Buying iNight are $35 - the cost of your art choosing spot or how many you buy is up to you!

TICKET PRICES:

Event Entry – $35
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 determine the order in which you get to choose your piece. With so many incredible artworks available, every tier guarantees you'll take home something special.

But here’s the catch—the lower the tier price you choose, the greater the risk that someone else will claim your favourite piece first! Will you play it safe or take a gamble? The choice is yours!

 - Top 3 Spots | 7:05pm*

• Gold - $500 (1 spot)
• Silver - $400 (1 spot)
• Bronze - $300 (1 spot)

*indicates the timeslot for each buying tier. Please make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled buying slot start time.

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 to the amount of art anyone can buy.

Can’t attend but still want to purchase art before it sells out? 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.
