The evening will feature a special gallery presentation of works by four participating artists: Kyle Scheurmann, Annie Briard, Tess Paul, and Liz Toohey-Wiese.
You will also hear from the Art Auction for Old Growth founder Kyle Scheurmann, followed by a screening of his short documentary, A Beautiful Resistance. The film follows Kyle as he uses his practice of “slow-painted journalism” to bear witness to deforestation in British Columbia, offering both a love letter to these ancient landscapes and a call to protect them.
The Art Auction for Old Growth (AAOG) is an annual national fundraiser that brings together leading contemporary Canadian artists and supporters from across the country. Since 2022, more than 50 artists have donated to the auction, helping raise nearly $115,000 for old-growth forest protection.
100% of auction proceeds support the Nature-Based Solutions Foundation’s Old-Growth Solutions Initiative, which works to safeguard endangered ancient forests and advance Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) alongside First Nations across British Columbia.
Meet the featured pieces in person, place your bid in and support the Nature-Based Solutions Foundation’s work to protect old-growth forests.

Join us for an intimate panel conversation with several featured artists for this year’s auction as they explore the relationship between art and place: What draws artists to the landscapes they portray, how the experience of witnessing environmental change can shape creative work, and how art can help us forge deeper connections with places and inspire us to protect them.
Following the panel, stick around to mingle with artists and art-lovers alike, and enjoy appetizers and drinks. There will also be a chance to take part in an 'Enter-to-Win' for a Patagonia giveaway, where proceeds from the Enter-to-Win will go towards NBSF and Indigenous Climate Action.
