Forest Art Auction

The Canberra Forest Alliance and Conservation Council ACT invite you to a forest art auction, to be held on the 15th of March, 2025, at Capital Brewery in Fyshwick.

The auction will support our campaigns to protect our beautiful native forests – those surrounding ACT, those in Southcoast NSW forests and also the endangered ecosystems in the ACT. All proceeds will go to the Conservation Council.  

Come along, enjoy some drinks, and bid on some beautiful art - all for a good cause. You can view images of the artwork here to see what you can bid on during the evening: https://conservationcouncil.or...

How the Evening Will Run 

Before the Event:

• All the paintings up for auction will be displayed on the Conservation Council Website (https://conservationcouncil.org.au/artwork-auction/) with information about the painting and artist.

At the Event:

• The paintings will be displayed both physically, and on a moving screen for you to browse upon arrival.
• There will be a raffle of some pieces of art, with tickets available to purchase on the night. 
• There will be a silent auction for some of the paintings and a live auction for others.
  
• The live auction will run at different intervals throughout the evening - so make sure you come for the whole event so you can get your favourite piece.
• The successful bidders for the silent auction will be announced at the end of the evening.
• You will be able to pay for your pieces via cheque, cash or card. 
• Successful bidders are requested to take their paintings home with them.
• Any unsold paintings (we hope none) will either be returned to artists, or will be available to purchase from the Conservation Council online after the event.

There will also be a special event for the under 12s

- Children will be able to paint or draw their own favourite forest or forest creature at the event.

- These paintings/drawings will be displayed and judged between 6 and 6.30pm by one of our special young volunteers.
