A student-led nonprofit giving young artists a platform while supporting youth physical and mental health across North America.
Original pieces by youth artists. Click any lot to inspect dimensions, medium, and details before bidding in the Fall 2026 auction.
Bid For Tomorrow was founded on the conviction that high school artists have profound potential to effect direct change. Through public exhibition auctions, we connect emerging youth creators across the Greater Toronto Area and New England with our designated charity partner.
Every auction dollar is split 50/50. Half funds Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital — our sole beneficiary — and half goes directly to the student artist for continuing education and creative supplies.
Imagination is one of the most potent tools young people possess. We elevate classroom work into public exhibitions that command respect and financial impact.
Every canvas painted and every bid placed funds tangible pediatric rehabilitation resources at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
Students curate our galleries, manage event operations, and direct community outreach — proving youth lead through immediate action.
The whole process, start to finish — no fine print, no confusing steps.
High school artists from our GTA and Lexington chapters submit original work — paintings, drawings, mixed media, anything made by hand.
Selected pieces go up on our online gallery and at in-person events, with artist, medium, dimensions, and starting bid for every lot.
Anyone can register as a bidder — no membership required. Browse lots online or at an event and place your bid.

Bid For Tomorrow is run entirely by students and volunteers, and every auction depends on people who show up — artists, bidders, organizers, neighbours. Pick whichever door fits you. If none of them quite do, just ask.
