NAVDF2025 is thrilled to present DermARTology, a silent art auction featuring artwork from delegates and industry representatives. All pieces will be generously donated by the artists and showcased in a special booth within the exhibit hall during NAVDF 2025. Delegates are invited to place their bids, with winners announced on Tuesday evening April 29, allowing them to collect and take home their new art.
All proceeds from the auction will be matched by NAVDF and donated to Project Street Vet, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity. This organization empowers veterinary teams to provide professional, non-judgmental medical care and support to pet families experiencing homelessness and housing vulnerability. Their vision is to ensure that veterinary care is accessible to every pet family.
