Artists’ Network Presents:

Feel the magical power of creativity....

Travel back in time to a night of old Hollywood glam at Toronto's infamous boutique art silent auction, the Little Art Show.

At the silent auction hall, more than 100 donated pieces of compelling, original artwork capture your mind - and your imagination soars.

You're enamoured with myriad pieces. Bidding begins. The excitement is palpable. You connect with the artists, explore, feel the inspiration, engage, reflect and enjoy. Wine and food are plentiful. Prizes abound.

The evening comes to a close, its vibe indelibly etched into your mind. You leave for home, a painting – or three – now yours. You smile. And feel the power of art.

The Little Art Show is Toronto’s affordable boutique art auction. Original and limited edition works donated by established and emerging artists (and no bigger than 8” x 10”) are selected by jury and auctioned off at Mercedes-Benz Downtown (Dundas & River). Event proceeds fund the operations of the Artists’ Network, a dedicated member-driven not-for-profit with a mandate of supporting visual artists and their practice through a program of professional development, studio and exhibition opportunities and operates the Hang Man Gallery and the annual Riverdale Art Walk.

Hosted by Maggie Cassella - a well known personality in the arts & entertainment industry both in Canada and abroad. Comedian, talk show host, writer and screenwriter, this multi-talented artist brings her unique sense of humour and musings on the art scene to the Little Art Show.



This year's silent auction event includes:
  • 100 small works of art donated by local and international artists, auctioned in 3 lots over the course of the evening
  • Viewer's Choice Award picked by you
  • Mercedes-Benz Little Smart Art Award presented at the end of the evening to one special artist
  • Starlight Lounge featuring our sponsor, the Steam Whistle Brewery
  • Culinary Boulevard showcasing the art of our local food


And this year we've got some great prizes lined up:
  • Book Lover's Package - full of bestsellers and items to make your reading time special...
  • Gardener's Package - including a floral arrangement and gardener's acoutrements...
  • Pamper Yourself Package - with certificates for mani/pedi, shoes, candles and all things relaxing
  • Art Lover's Package - for those who love to visit our city's museum and galleries, some passes and memberships
  • And our big prize of the evening - 2 First Class VIA 1 train tickets to Montreal!


Come and join the Artists' Network and our donating artists for this exciting event and support your local arts.
