About Arthouse
We’re thrilled to welcome you back to Arthouse, our annual charity art auction, featuring an extraordinary collection of works from Ireland’s top established and emerging artists.
This year, Arthouse will once again be a timed online auction, offering you the chance to own incredible art while supporting the vital and life-changing work of Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre. Arthouse plays a crucial role in funding our mission to provide a safe space where everyone in our community can feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
How it Works
Arthouse 2025 will operate as a timed online art auction, with all artworks divided across two separate auctions, either Day 1 or Day 2 of the live auction.
All artwork will be listed on the online auction platform from Thursday, 16 October for 3 weeks, and buyers will be able to place bids from that time until the final bids at the end of the live auction.
Final bids will start at:
- 3:00 PM on Saturday 8th November, and;
- 3:00 PM on Sunday 9th November.
Although the timed auction starts to close at 3:00 PM, it will take 30 seconds per lot to close from the first lot onwards. You can bid right up until the final lot closes.
The auction will be accessible online at auction.outhouse.ie or via the free app, available on the App Store (for iOS) and Google Play (for Android).
Information for Buyers
Planning to bid? Be sure to review our buyer’s guide, which covers registration, bidding tips, terms, and payment details. Early registration is recommended—last-minute registrations may not be verified in time for the auction.
Supporting Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre
Arthouse was launched five years ago to help reopen our centre after the pandemic, and it has since become a vital lifeline. Your participation and donations ensure that Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre can continue to provide essential services to our beautifully diverse LGBTQ+ communities.
As violence, transphobia, and homophobia rise, the need for safe, supportive spaces like Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre has never been greater. Your support through Arthouse directly impacts our ability to meet these challenges head-on.
Thank You to Our Sponsor
Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre extends our sincere thanks to An Post for their generous support of Arthouse 2024. Their sponsorship helps us continue providing vital services and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
