What is the Lawley Art Auction?

The Lawley Art Auction (LAA) is Mount Lawley Senior High School’s (MLSHS) major fund raising event for the Specialist Visual and Performing Arts (SVAPA) and Music Programs.

Funds are used to keep these programs engaging, contemporary, challenging and rewarding for our highly talented students. The programs aim to hone technical and artistic skill, creativity, curiosity and analytical thinking. Under the guidance of inspiring teachers, many young lives will be enriched, and futures brightened.

The auction represents a tremendous commitment and partnership between artists, parents, businesses, the community and the school. We sincerely thank all the people who contribute in so many ways to the success of this fundraising event.

Every year the bidding is exhilarating with a stunning array of artworks on offer. The funds generated by each auction have been used in many ways: funding the presentation of high calibre theatrical and musical productions; hosting workshops with leading artists and performers; purchasing specialised equipment and assisting students to attend world-class performances.

2024 Live Auction

The 20^th annual art auction was successfully held on Saturday 15 June 2024. It was a wonderful evening with more than 100 artworks on display, musical performances by MLSHS Music students and a variety of delectable refreshments. The evening raised more than $35,000 for the SVAPA and Music programs.

“I most certainly would love to contribute to next year’s art event. Your school is the most friendly, welcoming school I have ever had dealings with. Congratulations on the success of the Auction. I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into it….. it’s almost more than arranging a grand wedding! I brought 2 friends along. Both were very impressed and commented on the amazing presentation and feel of the evening. Well done and thank you for the opportunity to have my artwork displayed so prominently.”
