Wild Auction 2023 live event Victoria office May 15-19, 6-9pm

This year we are expanding the categories to include gift certificates, getaways, services, and conservation focused gifts along with art and creator works!

DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS APRIL 25, 2023

This fundraiser is one of Pacific Wild’s favourite events of the year. Everyone with items in the auction has demonstrated alignment with our mission, and a commitment to conservation and/or sustainability in their practice or business.

Have non-art items you’d like to donate? Write friends@pacificwild.org!

Buyers during the auction know funds raised go directly to our campaigns to protect B.C. wildlife and habitat. It’s the perfect venue to pick up meaningful gifts to celebrate holidays, birthdays or support artists, creators and businesses that support conservation.

For artists, this year we are limiting art submissions to un-stretched canvas, 8×8 board, unframed works on paper, or prints for easier and less expensive shipping, or small items under 1kg that can be shipped in standard Canada Post packaging. Or, if you’d like to mail it at your cost or through buyer-pays-shipping, let us know.

Theme for artwork should be British Columbia animals and ecosystems, especially those at risk, or endangered.

  • Registration deadline is April 25, 2023
  • For non-art submissions (gift certificates, items mailed direct to winning bidder) deadline for submissions is May 5, 2023.
