The Lawley Art Auction (LAA) is one of the highlights of the school year and will be the major fundraising event for our Music and Specialist Visual and Performing Arts (SVAPA) Programs. Prices paid for artworks typically range from $150 to $2,500. In 2022 we sold over 70 pieces of art with a total value of over $60,000.

- Our strong preference is for artists to upload this image with the Entry Form.
- We recognise that this may not be possible if you have not yet completed the piece, and so you will also be able to upload this image at a later date. If that is the case, please email images to our Artist Coordinator at artists@lawleyevents.com.
- If you are not able to supply a digital image, a professional photographer will be present at the school on the drop off day to photograph your piece.
