What are the details?

  • By April 16. Anyone is invited to contribute art pieces or handicrafts from Palestine. We also invite art created by Palestinian artists and Canadian allies in the spirit of solidarity. Please send a photo, along with weight and dimensions of the art piece, as well as its current location, to info@friendsofsabeel.ca.

What about payment and shipping?

  • Beginning on Tuesday, May 6. After the event, winning bidders will be contacted by CFOS with instructions on paying for the art through CFOS’s Canada Helps account. A taxable receipt will be issued for any amount exceeding 25% over the value of the art item.

  • CFOS will pay for any shipping if that is required, unless the purchaser or the donor chooses to donate the shipping costs. Bidders may wish to bid on items that are available in their community, so that a simple pick-up may be arranged.
