Art$Pay & Farwell4Hire Together!

Get excited for incredible art from some of the region's most talented practitioners AND shop for a good cause! The Art$Pay artists are teaming up with Farwell4Hire and raising money for Cystic Fibrosis.

This year Art$Pay is taking our Annual Member Show in a new direction - a unique two part event designed in response to the pandemic and with something for everyone.

Part One will be totally virtual so you can enjoy the art from the comfort of your home. We’ll be turning the Art$Pay website homepage into a virtual shopping catalogue of our members’ original art, including an online silent auction and art picks from these well-known people in our community …

Farwell4Hire is a fundraising campaign created in memory of Luanne and Sheri Farwell, two young women who died of cystic fibrosis. Luanne and Sheri’s brother, Mike Farwell, hires himself for odd jobs in exchange for a donation to cystic fibrosis research. Since 2014, Waterloo Region has raised more than $600,000 through the Farwell4Hire campaign, and is recognized as one of the top fundraising communities in Canada.

Art$Pay is a non-profit, artist-run regional visual arts organization of over 160 members, with a mission to connect visual art practitioners with opportunities, community, and advocate for fair pay.
