WHY
Over the years, this auction has grown in stature to be the most professional of the "amateur" auctions in WA. It provides the best auction opportunity for local artists.
Funds raised from the auction enrich the education of our next generation of actors, musicians and visual artists, our students. This includes the sponsoring of tours, training sessions and the purchasing of equipment.
The Community Art Auction is a joint venture between the Music Support Committee and the Specialist Visual and Performing Arts (SVAPA) Support Committee under the auspices of the Mount Lawley Senior High School Parents & Citizens Association Inc.
TIMETABLE - WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHEN...
Tue May 29 at 7:30 pm - Next Committee Meeting
If you would like to be included with this fun event, we would love to have you on board. It's an opportunity for you to work with like-minded people. Last year we raised over $16,000 for students of Music and SVAPA (Specialist Visualist And Performing Arts) Students at Mount Lawley Senior High School.
