Bid on artwork… with volunteer hours!

On June 14, Framework is holding a silent auction… but with a twist! Rather than bidding with money, people bid volunteer hours on works of art by local Calgarian artists.

Here’s how it works: From 7 p.m. – 10 p.m., Calgarians who are interested in volunteerism will come together at the Flames Central Building and meet with a plethora of volunteering agencies. When you find one you like, you bid on artwork with time dedicated to that organization, usually with a maximum of 100 hours. If you win the painting, you get 12 months to finish those hours, and then receive the work of art at the next TimeRaiser as a reminder of your amazing achievement.

Remember, Calgary’s 7th Annual TimeRaiser is approaching quickly! Buy your ticket today here!
