Friday and Saturday at MAWA's Over the Top Art Auction is a chance to see all of the art and start your bidding in a relaxed environment. Entry is free! If you'd like to bid on some artworks, tickets are available for $10.
You don't have to be present at the close of the auction on Sunday, April 7 to be a successful bidder or win a raffle prize!
Bidders who bid high on Friday and Saturday often get the art they bid on. MAWA also has volunteer proxy bidders who can make bids for you. Talk to a volunteer at the front desk on Friday or Saturday or email [email protected]. We’ll take your bidder number, the title of the artwork(s) you want to bid on and the maximum amount you are willing to bid and give that information to a proxy bidder who will make bids for you on Sunday as the auction closes.
Successful bidders will be notified Wednesday, April 10 if they are not present for the close of the auction on Sunday.
Over the Top Sunday Afternoon, April 7, 1 - 5 pm
Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door, 6 art lots close one by one starting at 3pm, cupcakes!
What happens when you combine artworks by over 170 artists and more than 1000 cupcakes? You get MAWA’s annual Over the Top Art Auction and Cupcake Party!
This fundraiser features some of Winnipeg's biggest artists alongside up-and-comers! There is art for all tastes and all budgets. Add cupcakes and stellar raffle baskets, and you have one of the most anticipated cultural events of the spring.
Over the Top Art Auction and Cupcake Party raises funds that enable MAWA to provide professional, engaging visual art programming, such as our Mentorship Programs, Critical Discussion Groups, Skills-Based Workshops, Artist Lectures and Cross-Cultural Craft Program. Many of these programs are filled to capacity, and bring together people from many different backgrounds to share in the pleasure and challenge of visual art.
