This annual gala event of the Eden Arts calendar brings together a large number of recognised Auckland artists who draw and paint ‘live’ in Mt Eden Village. The completed works are auctioned the same day to provide funds for community arts initiatives.

Around 40 visual artists take part every year, alongside children’s art activities, live music, and the opportunity to win an artwork by a local artist in the raffle. It’s a great day for the whole family, culminating in the excitement of a live auction at 2.30pm where there is a chance to purchase the works created.
