Online auction

Launching November 2026

November 27| 12 pm ET online auction launches

The Future Proof 2026 online auction will feature a range of prints generously donated by our artist members, alongside selections from our fundraising collection. There will also be an in-person component featuring a selection of works for sale from our expansive print sales program. If you'd like to browse the auction items, you'll find them online.

Participating artist names will be announced closer to the launch. All proceeds support Open Studio, helping us provide accessible print facilities and creative services to Toronto artists. We are grateful to the artists who contribute their work and sustain our printmaking community.

Thank you to our generous event sponsors, ASSURART Inc. and The Japanese Paper Place, for their gift certificate donation in support of the Best in Print prize.
