ArtAttack! is Buddies’ annual art auction / fundraiser / art party.
Mark your calendars and get your tickets — ArtAttack! is happening on Thursday November 6, 2025!
The annual event offers art aficionados and novices alike an exclusive chance to scoop up work by over 50 visual artists and enjoy an unforgettable night full of surprises. This year’s theme of Homecoming means it’s that time of year when we all come together to raise money and celebrate the longest running Queer theatre in the world – Buddies in Bad Times through our annual art auction / fundraiser / art party.
Our 2025 live auction curation by Natalie King, Luke Painter, Mia Sandhu, and Thomas Schneider offers the best in contemporary Canadian art. The legendary Tuck Shop packs it in with artist multiples and originals all for $100 or less and the silent auction includes curated experience packages from local businesses.
The hilarious Ted Morris hosts, and auctioneer Frances Fripp of Fripp Auctions will have you raising your paddles high and often.
Doors at 7pm
Auction at 8pm
