MAC Holiday Silent Auction
The Holiday Silent Auction by the Minto Arts Council is an original way to embrace the art of giving. Surprise yourself and discover unique gifts for this Christmas!
This event is made possible yearly by generous donations from private individuals and commercial sponsors. Like us, they believe in the importance of free access to art.
The Minto Arts Council (MAC) thanks you for supporting the MAC Gallery and other events. With your help, we can continue to support young Elementary and Secondary school artists through our bursaries and student exhibitions.
