Renowned auctioneer Stephen Ranger will host the live event, which will feature an exciting line-up of over 25 exceptional works donated in support of the gallery’s programming. The evening will also highlight fabulous local fare, along with beer and wines selected by the chefs and sommeliers of the University of Guelph, widely recognized for their leadership in both hospitality and sustainability.

The cornerstone of the gallery’s fundraising activities, ART/CRAFT raises essential resources for the Art Gallery of Guelph’s creative programming and community engagement. The AGG is grateful to this year’s contributing artists, donors, and sponsors for their support of this event.
