Timeraiser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Timeraiser is a Canadian non-profit organization that hosts art auctions where bids are placed in volunteer hours rather than dollars. The organization was founded in 2002 by Anil Patel with the intent of supporting both emerging artists and non-profit organizations.[1] The first Timeraiser was held in Toronto in 2004, and the organization expanded to Calgary in 2006.[2] By 2012 it was being held annually in 12 Canadian cities.[2] It remains active across Canada in many cities,[3] including Edmonton,[4] Montreal,[5] Ottawa,[6] Regina,[7] and Vancouver.[8] The Frameworks Foundation now operates the events.[9]
