DVAA-A-THON

Have you ever wondered what a telethon would look like in 2026? Well look no further, HERE IT IS!

For 24 hours straight, Da Vinci Art Alliance will be hosting an in-person and livestreamed fundraiser, featuring two floors of workshops, live performances, film screenings, arm wrestling contests, and more!

In 2025, our artist collective almost closed due to longstanding debt we hold from COVID-19 and cancelled funding due to our current federal administration. Thanks to our members and supporters, we made it to our 95th year, and we're gonna keep celebrating that all year.

DVAA-A-THON is a fundraiser, and also a showcase of some of the work we do all year. As Sam says often to first-time visitors, "we do too many things, all the time", and that's what makes our space special. Come join us for a day and night and day of adventure, celebrate, and help us get to 96!

HOW DVAA-A-THON WORKS

• From 7/11 on 6pm - 7/12 on 6pm, DVAA will be open and full of events for you to dive into. There is no ticket or registration required to attend, but keep in mind, it is a fundraiser. We will also be livestreaming the event on twitch so our friends who can't make it in person can still attend and participate!
  Every hour, we'll have another item up for raffle, every $5 donation counts as 1 entry towards that hour's raffle prize & your overall donation-level prizes (listed below). Each hour winners will be announced live in person and over Twitch and contacted by the end of July to receive their prize. Whether attending in person or digitally, everyone is eligible!
• Anyone attending in-person will receive an event passport. Get a stamp at the welcome desk every hour you spend in person to earn prizes. You must turn the passport in when you leave to be eligible for prizes.
• Donation-level prizes are calculated by the total amount received by each individual donor throughout DVAA-A-THON. If you pay with cash at all throughout the event, make sure to tell the person receiving it your name so it's tracked towards your total.
