WHY PARTICIPATE IN OUR AUCTION?
BE AN AGENT OF CHANGE FOR A UNIQUE MUSEUM.
This benefit event is an unmissable annual gathering for art enthusiasts and our community – an opportunity for networking and the discovery of unique lots. We’re putting Quebec craftsmanship in the spotlight!
As one of our most important fundraising initiatives, the auction enables the MUMAQ Foundation to raise funds in support of the Musée des métiers d’art du Québec (MUMAQ).
All proceeds from the auction go directly to the Museum, helping to sustain its programming, conservation, outreach, and educational activities – all for the benefit of its community of artists and the public. Thanks to our generous participants, we raised nearly $13,000 in 2024 – a significant return after a well-deserved break.
We count on your presence and generosity as bidders to make this year’s edition a great success! Our heartfelt thanks to all the donors who have so generously contributed to this auction.
