“For 4 years Framework volunteers have been an integral part of our adult planning committee, working individually and as mentors to youth in areas of youth committee facilitation, event planning, art installation, graphic design and communications.  It has been an honour to watch the Delisle Youth Gallery develop over the years with the support, hard work and collaboration of the youth and the volunteers we met at the Timeraiser!”

Timeraiser has created a great link between volunteers and artists and art lovers. The idea of donating your time to enhance your community is brilliant, and introducing other organizations  to  each other creates a more unified city."

"Volunteering makes a community strong and dynamic. Timeraiser is a great idea to inspire people to get involved through art. I am glad to be able to contribute – even in a small way – to help bring more awareness to all these great organizations with something that already means a great deal to me."

"When I first learned about Timeraiser, I thought it was one of the most innovative ideas I’ve heard of.  As an artist it is an opportunity to show my work to a different audience.  For guests, it is an opportunity to acquire a piece of art that they may not be able to afford, and it is the chance to get involved with an organization that needs volunteers.  It truly is a unique concept.  I’m proud to be a part of an event where everyone wins."  

“The Timeraiser is our number one volunteer recruitment event that we participate in each year. At other volunteer recruitment events we might receive a large quantity of volunteers, but never quite the  quality  of volunteers that we meet at the Timeraiser.”

"One of my goals has been to maintain playfulness in my work and at the same time create a place where I could make mistakes, a mess and hopefully a difference as well. With work that is both interactive and playful, I focus on making the viewer an active participant in the telling of a story. To me, the Timeraiser, echoes these concepts and makes the statement that getting involved in one’s community can be worthwhile, easy and fun. I have been fortunate enough to participate in this event for two consecutive years. Last year’s event was action packed and devoted to generating interest for organizations and artists. This is unlike any regular art show, with the focus on creating partnerships and making vital contributions to the community."
