關於我們

藝時藝刻（Timeraiser）是Framework基金會自2004年起於加拿大多倫多所創辦的年度大型藝術活動。活動的宗旨在於，透過舉辦藝術品拍賣派對的方式，參與者以志願為公益團體提供服務的「時間」而非「金錢」，作為競標藝術品的籌碼，一方面支持公益組織的經營，另方面也支持新銳藝術家的發展。
迄今，藝時藝刻已成為加拿大藝術界的年度盛事，歷年來席捲了12個主要城市辦理，佳評如潮。以2017年的「藝時藝刻—加拿大」活動來說，便籌集了共計 9萬1,110 個志願服務的時數。

Timeraiser was started in Toronto, Canada in 2004 by the Framework Foundation. It focuses on hosting art auctions where participants bid for artwork in volunteer hours rather than money. The main objective of the event is to support both nonprofit organizations as well as emerging artists.
Since the first event, Timeraiser has grown across Canada creating annual events in 12 major Canadian cities. In 2017, Timeraiser Canada raised 91,110 volunteer hours.

活動結構

我們運用企業及個人的贊助，購買新銳藝術家的作品，價格由藝術家設定。這些藝術品將在拍賣派對上展示，並以「無聲」的方式進行競標活動。參與者運用紙筆投標，在作品旁的表單填上個人為競標藝術品志願為公益團體提供服務的時數，每個作品的上限是100個小時。
得標者有一年的時間完成其自行設定的志願服務時數，完成後即可獲得該藝術品。在此之前，藝術品將以巡迴的方式在公共、公益及企業等活動或場館中展示。

Event structure

Corporate and private sponsorships are used to purchase art from emerging artists at prices that are set by the artists. These artworks are then presented at events in silent auction format. Participants make written bids in volunteer hours. Maximum bids are limited to 100 hours.
The winning bidder has one year to complete their set number of hours, and receives their art piece when their hours have been completed. In the meantime, the art is displayed in a rotation of public venues, non-profits, and corporate settings.
