Art for Change auction offers artwork by Grade 11 and 12 students in support of the IWK
Area residents can be the first to own a masterpiece of a potential future art master while providing financial support for the IWK Children’s Hospital in Halifax and supporting activities at Carleton North High School in Florenceville-Bristol.
CNHS Grade 11 and 12 art students will have their creations on display and for sale as the school hosts its Art for Change auction from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday. Nov. 30 at the school.
CNHS teacher Renée Dubois said the students’ art will be up for auction, with the bids starting at $20 each. She added the auction will be a cash-only event.
The students will donate funds raised through the auction to the IWK Children’s Hospital in Halifax.
The event will also feature music, food and a 50/50 draw. The school will divide money raised from food sales and 50/50 tickets between the IWK and school events.
Dubois said the teachers and students hope to welcome a large crowd to the event to celebrate the students’ artistic talents and deliver financial support for the IWK and the school.
