This year’s graduating class of the Michaelis School of Fine Art UCT, will be hosting their annual silent auction fundraiser event.

The auction, a longstanding tradition of the school's, aids in the costs of the large graduate show exhibition held at the end of the year, including a professionally produced catalogue for the graduating class, and contributes to the Materials Bursary Fund which provides disadvantaged students with financial assistance towards art supplies. This fundraising effort enables the graduating class an opportunity to give back to the school, and to frame their work within a broader context of professional art practice. Both of these fundraising efforts are important elements in the development of socially connected, resourceful young artists, and is particularly important this year, as it is essentially the only source of fundraising available to the students due to ongoing pandemic and related socially-distanced restrictions.

The event is entirely not-for-profit, with all proceeds going to the school Material's Bursary, and production of the graduate student catalogue.
