Thousand Words Art Auction

Is a picture worth a THOUSAND WORDS? Come to the mystery AUCTION TO FIND OUT!We invited authors who have read at the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival to ‘think outside the book’ and create a small piece of art to be auctioned off to raise funds for the Festival’s new home, Rivermead. The auction includes the artwork of more than 30 well-known Canadian authors, including Emma Donoghue, Lisa Moore, Terry Fallis, Leon Rooke, Heather O’Neill, and many more! Bidders will not know the identity of the art’s creator until the big reveal at the end of the evening, so part of the fun will be trying to detect which author created which piece of art! A silent auction of quality items for books lovers will also take place throughout the evening. Tickets are $20 per person, and include a complimentary drink and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets are available online at emwftix.ca, or at the Bookshelf in Guelph, ON.
