Your Guide to the 2025 Lawley Art Auction

The Lawley Art Auction is back, and it’s your chance to snap up incredible artwork by emerging and established Western Australian artists — all while supporting arts education at Mount Lawley Senior High School. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, here’s everything you need to know before auction night.

The 2025 auction will be held in the school's stunning Ron Gomboc Gallery, named after WA’s renowned sculptor and a long-time supporter of the event. The gallery provides a professional, atmospheric setting to view and bid on original pieces, and this year’s collection is once again expected to impress.

Artwork will be available for public viewing on Friday 21 June from 3:30pm to 6:30pm and again on Saturday 22 June from 10:00am to 4:00pm. This is your chance to explore the full catalogue in person, admire the diversity of styles, and pick out your favourites ahead of auction night.

Bidding kicks off at 6:00pm on Saturday 22 June, with doors opening at 5:00pm. Whether you’re after a statement piece or a unique gift, you’ll be able to bid confidently with each artwork professionally catalogued and displayed. If you can’t make it on the night, pre-bidding and absentee bidding options are available — just make sure to register in advance.

Successful bidders can take their artwork home on the night, and volunteers will be on hand to help safely package your purchase. The school accepts EFTPOS and credit card payments (excluding AMEX), and all proceeds support the school’s arts programs, facilities, and student initiatives.

This beloved community event is a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and culture. By purchasing a piece, you’re not only investing in original art but also directly contributing to the next generation of WA artists.
