If you are taking transit, enter the Civic Centre from the north doors off of Princess Royal Drive. If you are parking underground, take the north doors in the parking garage to the elevator. The Art Gallery of Mississauga is located on the ground floor.
How does the auction work?
When you arrive, you will be given a numbered catalogue that will also act as your paddle, after registering with your payment method. Your “paddle” will be your tool to “bid” on the piece. We will be using pick of the paddle, or “highest bid wins”.
