It is putting on quirky fundraiser "Quick Draw" where no one walks away empty handed.
Fifty artists from Canberra and around the country have donated artworks for the night, which will be randomly assigned to guests over the course of the evening.
All the money raised will go directly towards maintaining artists fees, rent-free gallery space and professional support.
Tickets aren't cheap at $255 a pop, but the price not only helps the gallery but is an investment in your art collection.
The event is on July 9 at Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Gorman Arts Centre. Tickets on sale now at ccas.com.au/exhibitions/quick-draw.
