Celebrate 40 years of grunt, our artist community and our future!

This is your chance win something very unique by bidding on exciting, unseen work by an incredible line up of artists! The contents of these auction items are unknown and we are elated for the lucky winners who will get to unveil these one-of-a-kind creations.

grunt gallery has resurfaced a fundraiser originating in the late 1990s - an unexpected donation to our archive of photos captured by Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun some years back unearthed a wonderful idea. The original idea? Give a dozen artists disposable cameras and auction them off sight unseen. With thanks to our predecessors for the inspiration, we have remounted this campaign with a new lineup of exciting participants and a greater breadth of offerings. We are auctioning unique disposable camera prints by 11 artists, and we have also engaged 3 artists to create non-visual, audio-based pieces to support a broader range of accessibility and platform artists with disabilities. 

With immense gratitude, we are thrilled to announce the participating artists: Laiwan, Cindy Mochizuki, Carmen Papalia, Rebecca Bair, Joi T. Arcand, Olumoroti Soji-George, Rebecca Belmore, Michelle Sound, Valerie Walker, Jen Yakamovich, Paul Wong, Glenn Gear, Christine Taylor Fearing, Derya Akay, and Syrus Marcus Ware.

Place your bids online from 8 AM on September 10th until 11:59 PM on October 1st (Pacific Time).

By bidding, you not only acquire an inside look into the daily moments that inspire creativity in your favourite artists? lives, you are also supporting grunt?s critical programming, empowering our community, and uplifting the artists who enrich it. Thank you!
