Artists supporting artists.
The Firstdraft Auction is our most important fundraising initiative, and an annual survey of some of the most exciting art and artists from across Australia.
Every year, artists from across Australia and around the world – many of whom received early-career support through Firstdraft – have contributed artworks to be sold at our annual fundraising auction. It is a diverse and intergenerational platform for artists to connect with a passionate community of collectors, while supporting new generations of practitioners.
Artists receive commission on the sale of their works, and all profit supports Firstdraft’s free exhibitions and provides fees for the hundreds of artists, curators and writers who participate in our program each year. It is a time for us to come together each year and celebrate artists supporting artists.
