Thank You for Supporting Our 2025 Auction!

Our auction has officially wrapped, and we are filled with gratitude. To everyone who bid, shared the link, donated an item, or cheered us on from the sidelines: THANK YOU!

Your enthusiasm and generosity made this year’s auction a beautiful success.

Because of you, we raised essential funds that will directly support soma anima arts’ artistic projects, community programs, and the artists who bring these works to life.

Your support reminds us that the arts thrive through community, collaboration, and care. We are honoured to have you with us on this journey.

As we look ahead to the coming year, with new creations, residencies, and projects in motion, we carry your encouragement with us. Thank you for helping sustain the artistic work we love and for being an integral part of our community!

We acknowledge that the land we live, work, and create on is the stolen territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

This statement reflects a commitment to contributing to a more just, loving, and equitable world as we strive to learn from past mistakes, and move forward in a spirit of care, honoring the interconnectedness of land and community during this time of climate crisis and social injustice.
