Arts Whistler’s annual art fundraiser returns for its 8th year! 

Mark your calendars—The Anonymous Art Show Buying Night is back on April 10, 2026! Save the date and get your tickets early to Arts Whistler's high-energy gala that supports local artists and community art programs. 

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. Each participating artist's identity, established creative or an up-and-coming talent, is kept secret until you select your art!

More than just an art sale, Buying Night is a vibrant experience featuring music by Vinyl Ritchie, an indulgent food spread from Flute & Fromage, a pop-up bar, and a few surprises along the way. Come dressed to express—whether that’s 80s flair to celebrate our 8th year, cowboy boots or cocktail attire! 

Ticket Prices

Event Entry – $35
Everyone needs an entry ticket to attend the Anonymous Art Show. Your entry includes a glass of bubbly, an indulgent food spread, entertainment, and access to the highest-energy art show in town. 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 price tier, the later your art picking time, which means a higher chance someone else chooses your favourite piece first. Will you secure an early spot or take your chances? The choice is yours.

- $500 Gold | 7:05 pm* (1 spot)

- $400 Silver | 7:05 pm* (1 spot)

- $300 Bronze | 7:05 pm* (1 spot)

- #4 Art Spot Raffle | 7:10 pm* ($285 value - includes $35 entry ticket) Raffle tickets can be purchased in person only from March 6 at the Maury Young Arts Centre front desk until April 1 at 7:30pm. The winner will be chosen during the Anonymous Sneak Peek event, April 1 at 7:45 pm.

- $250 | 7:15 pm* (10 spots only!)

- $150 | 7:30 pm* (up to 50 spots available)

- $100 | 8:00 pm* (up to 50 spots available)

- $50 | 8:30 pm* (up to 100 spots available)

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

Tax Receipts

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.

Example:
If you buy a $150 spot, you will receive a $50 tax receipt.
If you buy multiple $50 spots, no tax receipt is issued because each piece is below the baseline value.

Want More Than One Piece?

Purchase art in multiple categories — there is no limit to how many artworks you can buy.

Can’t Attend?

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 your top 10–15 picks by April 4 via email to jbrown@artswhistler.com.
