The first art auction of 2024 from Saskatchewan Network for Art Collecting is on now! The Black History Month Art Auction has over 150 Saskatchewan, Canadian and International artworks on offer, with over half raising funds for two Saskatchewan Black-focused charities.
Bidding is available via our DEDICATED AUCTION WEBSITE and the INVALUABLE auction platform, and ends Sunday, February 25th.
The purpose is twofold — to highlight the work of Black artists and celebrate Black subjects, and to raise funds for two charities: the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum and the Black Excellence Scholarship at Sage Hill Writing.
Black artists and subjects represented include works by Mathias Muleme, Neville Clarke, Shepard Fairey, Shawn Skeir, David Kibuuka and others, while non-Black-themed donated artworks include Brandi Hofer, Marge Jessop, Jerry Jessop, AJ Casson, AW Davey, Anton Cetin and more.
