On Saturday, November 14, Access Gallery will be hosting their annual art auction fundraiser, A Vibrant Assemblage.

Access Gallery is a platform for emergent and experimental art practices. They enable critical conversations and risk taking through new configurations of audience, artists and community. The ongoing support from their members, donors and participants continue to make it possible for the gallery to present compelling and critically engaged emergent practices and to develop new programs.

A Vibrant Assemblage will feature artworks generously donated by more than 50 local and international artists. Proceeds from this auction go towards sustaining operations at Access Gallery for the next year and, in particular, to expanding their exciting new travelling residency program, Twenty-Three Days at Sea, which was launched this year to international acclaim and an overwhelming response by emergent artists worldwide.
