Join us for our 2nd annual Fibre Arts Festival Auction May 17 – 26 2024 at Three Sisters Cultural Centre. During the auction your work will be displayed in the Three Sisters Cultural Centre event space so it needs to be ready for display.
WEFTFest Fibre Art Show & Auction is an Online Art Auction dedicated to the Fibre Arts, that will take place for the duration of WEFTFest May 17 – 26 2024, ending with a cocktail party and live auction streaming event. We will accept all forms of fibre art including quilts, felted sculptural pieces, clothing, fibre art accessories, etc.
This year’s auction is being offered at a 60/40 consignment rate (artist gets 60%). The Three Sisters Cultural Centre will assume all POS fees.
Each art piece will have a Starting Reserve Price determined by you, the Artist. The piece will not be sold for anything less. Your Starting Reserve price should be less than your regular value to encourage bidding.
During the set-up day, a final inspection will be done on your work to see if it is true to your submission, is ready to show and is in good order. The Three Sisters will assume all processing and credit card fees and will take care of shipping if it is required. The purchaser will be responsible for shipping and handling fees and will be charged accordingly by the Three Sisters Cultural Centre.
