Art With Heart 2025 lit up the night on October 7 at the iconic Carlu in Toronto, raising an awe-inspiring $1.34 million in support of Casey House, Toronto’s one-of-a-kind hospital for people living with and at risk of HIV and AIDS.
This wasn’t just an auction—it was a cultural celebration. Picture a room filled with breathtaking contemporary Canadian art, generous hearts, and a vibrant community united by creativity and compassion. With incredible food, an open bar, and an atmosphere buzzing with purpose, this event reminded everyone of the transformative power of art and giving.
Canada’s Most Anticipated Charity Art Auction
For 32 years and counting, Art With Heart has been the heartbeat of Canada’s charity art auction scene. Year after year, the event showcases both celebrated and emerging artists, curating a collection that ranges from evocative paintings and prints to intricate textiles and sculptures.
Every piece auctioned is generously donated by artists and galleries, transforming artistic passion into life-saving care at Casey House, a Toronto hospital known for its judgement-free approach to HIV health care.
Art That Heals: The Legacy of Art With Heart 2025
Born in a modest gathering at 119 Isabella Street over 30 years ago, Art With Heart has blossomed into one of Canada’s most beloved philanthropic traditions. Since 1994, this annual October event has brought together collectors, gallery owners, creatives, and community champions in support of a shared mission.
To date, more than 1,000 artists have donated works—some over 15 times—and their contributions have helped raise an extraordinary $16 million for Casey House.
Making a Real Impact, One Masterpiece at a Time
The funds raised through art sales, sponsorships, and Patrons’ Circle memberships go directly toward enhancing Casey House’s compassionate care. Whether it’s expanding outpatient services or reaching vulnerable individuals through community-based programs, every dollar raised brings hope, dignity, and care to those who need it most.
And the impact doesn’t stop at the hospital doors—Art With Heart has launched the careers of emerging artists, sparked national conversations, and brought museum-worthy art into everyday spaces.
How Art With Heart Works
Each year, a volunteer committee of top-tier art experts curates a stunning auction collection from generous donations. The experience extends beyond auction night—preview events, artist studio tours, and VIP gatherings offer exclusive glimpses into the creative process behind each piece.
Whether you’re bidding, sponsoring, or simply soaking in the artistry, Art With Heart is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement.
Casey House: A Hospital Unlike Any Other
Located in downtown Toronto, Casey House is a trailblazer in HIV/AIDS health care, offering a uniquely compassionate approach that meets clients exactly where they are. Through a mix of inpatient, outpatient, and community outreach, the hospital delivers dignity, innovation, and healing with heart.
