Mark your calendar for the 2022 edition of ARTATTACK!, the annual art auction and fundraiser for Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, taking place on Thursday, November 10, 2022 at Buddies. Doors open at 7pm with a live auction starting at 8pm. 

ARTATTACK! is one of Toronto’s best-loved and most outrageous art auctions – an Oz-inspired Emerald City themed art party will serve as the backdrop to this year’s event. The night offers art aficionados and novices alike an exclusive chance to scoop up work by over 60 visual artists and enjoy an unforgettable night full of surprises. 

The ARTATTACK! live auction is a showcase of works from some of the biggest up-and-coming artists in Toronto. In addition, the ever-popular Tuck Shop is back, selling unique art pieces and limited edition prints at set prices, with a range of purchase options for all ARTATTACK! guests. Featured artists include Jess Dobkin, General Idea, Tessar Lo, Zachari Logan, Ashlee Marcus, Farihah Aliyah Shah, Michael Snow, Daryl Vocat, Lan Florence Yee, and many more.

The Artist Limited Edition Prints have been a favourite at ArtAttack! since it was introduced in 2013. Buddies commissions a celebrated Canadian artist for an original work, available only at ArtAttack! with all proceeds supporting artistic and community programs at Buddies. This year’s selection is from Toronto and New York City-based Jessica Thalmann, whose piece, Reflections (Highway 407), will be available as prints at a set price of $185, with additional framing options available through our framing partner Akasha Art Projects.
