For this edition, we've chosen an innovative and equitable partnership model that reflects our deep commitment to supporting the local economy, culture, and the arts. Local businesses, services, artists, and festivalgoers all come together in a shared spirit of generosity.
Local businesses and services — By donating products or services, businesses and service providers in the region invest directly in the touristic and cultural vitality of North Hatley. Their involvement in the silent auction is a meaningful act of local pride: every donation helps fund concerts and activities that make our community shine.
Local artists — Our partnership with local artists is at the heart of this auction. The festival becomes a gallery of solidarity, because supporting culture also means recognizing and celebrating those who create it. For every artwork sold, the artist receives directly 50% of the final bid — a fair recognition of their talent and work.
50% goes directly to the artist
50% supports the Festival
Art within reach — In collaboration with a local gallery that generously provides its space, the artworks selected for the auction will be on display throughout the festival, from Thursday, August 6 to Sunday, August 9. A rare opportunity to see the pieces up close, to experience them, before placing a bid.
How does it work?
The silent auction opens online before the festival — all items, including artworks, will be listed on our online platform so you can bid at your own pace, from anywhere.
The auction closes on Sunday, August 9, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Items and artworks can be picked up starting Monday, August 10, 2026. For any special requests regarding pickup, don't hesitate to reach out — we'll be happy to make arrangements.
Want to contribute? Do you have a unique object, a memorable experience, or a work of art to offer? We'd love to include it in this year's silent auction.
