Naabidoo’igan (beading needle): daphne’s Silent Auction
Nabidoo’igan is daphne’s annual two-part community fundraiser, consisting of a silent auction of donated artworks and an Indigenous market. All proceeds from the silent auction go directly to daphne, as do the sales of our fabulous cocktails and mocktails. These are served by our lovely volunteer board members during the market, which supports local Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs, with 100% of the funds you spend at their tables going to them.
Summary: Auction wins and drink purchases support daphne, purchases from vendors support vendors.
Naabidoo’igan will be daphne’s third annual Indigenous Artist Market and Silent Auction. Starting November 3rd at 12 noon the auction will be on display at daphne and bids will open online. Bidding closes on November 8th at 7pm.
