Bidding for the artworks ends on Monday, Dec. 21 at 9 p.m. Winning bidders will be able to pick up their art on Dec. 22 and 23. Payments are due via etransfer.

The Exhibition is hoping to raise at least $5,000 for this fundraiser, on top of other recent fundraisers it is running to help cover costs after the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair had to be called for a second consecutive year due to COVID-19.
