Gallery CentralCentral Institute of Technology's Gallery – 12 Aberdeen Street, Northbridge Perth Western Australia

Central Institute of Technology’s graduating students are holding an auction of their artworks.  In addition to inspiring pieces by the students, many well-known Perth artists have donated works specifically created for the auction; Brian McKay and Jo Darbyshire to name just two.  The auction is being held to raise funds for the students’ end of year graduation show.  Pieces are uniformly presented in (- or around -) a 227 x 310mm frame, ready to hang/display, and will be sold to the individual highest bidder – no fuss, no haggling, no gallery fees.  You will be offered everything from painting to sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, digital art, illustration – and anything in between.
