Friends of the Earth Nuclear Free Art Auction 2024

The emblematic Friends of the Earth Nuclear-Free Art Auction this year is happening on Saturday August 31 at Catalyst Social Centre on 146 Sydney Rd, Coburg. We also have an onlne auction with some of the bigger works from August 16-30. The Art Auction has been an enormous support to keep our work going over the decades.

This coming year we have our plate full with Dutton’s delusional nuclear dreams and proposed nuclear power plant sites in every state, the AUKUS military deal with its nuclear submarines, its subsequent high level weapons-grade radioactive waste and new proposed uranium mines in SA. As always, the biggest burden will lie on First Nations communities, front-line communities and workers.

There will be an online auction via Gala-bid from August 16-30 with the bigger works. Please let your art collector/ gallery friends and friends with deep pockets know. A link to the catalogue will be put up shortly.

The in-person event on Saturday August 31 will feature music by Uncle Winiata 7.30pm. Live auction 8pm. Food by some of the lovely people at Food Not Bombs and drink at the bar.

We have a lot of art works this year and are extremely grateful for the generosity of the artists that have donated their work. And special gratitude to Jane Brownrigg, FOE lifetime member and general absolute legend, who has chosen to (re-)donate a large part of her collection to this years auction.
