Help the Youth Line make It Get Better for queer youth

Tonight at the Berkeley Heritage Event Venue in Toronto, the Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line is holding its annual Line Art Auction. This important fundraiser for the Youth Line features work by established artists along with that of emerging and youth artists. If you’re thinking of starting your own art collection, this is the place to be. Mingle with art enthusiasts, established art collectors and even the artists themselves.

This year’s auction includes work by Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Maurice Vellekoop, Guntar Kravis, Stephen Andrews, Scott McEwan, Barbara Astman and many more.

The evening will also feature a special It Gets Better commissioned work for the Youth Line in honour of the campaign and those who have participated in it.

Also, be sure to congratulate the Youth Line folks tonight for the well-deserved acknowledgement of their work on the Ellen DeGeneres Show‘s list of bullying resources.
