Artists for Water is a Canadian art auction that raises funds in support of Swim Drink Fish. Over the past 10 years, Canadian artists have donated over 250 works of art to our auctions, raising over 3.5 million dollars. As Swim Drink Fish has grown and evolved over the years, artists have become guides for exploring our vision of a world where communities become the greatest advocates for their local waters, by empowering and engaging the action needed to protect and restore their waters for generations to come.
