Here’s an early heads-up for supporters of the arts in Burnaby.
The Burnaby Arts Council is planning a gala and fundraiser for Saturday, April 13 in preparation for next year, when the group marks 50 years of fostering and promoting the arts in the community.
The night will include a raffle, art auction, fashion show by local designer Yifat Jovani, and live music from Cumbia Galeria. The auction will include work created and donated by local artists, with featured work by Susan Point, Bill Higginson and Keith Rice-Jones.
The night will also feature live painting by Jace Junggyu Kim, the winner of the Park’s Edge Paint Off held at Deer Lake Gallery in February.
Doors will open at 7:30, with fashion show at 8 p.m. and live art auction at 9 p.m. Tickets ($35 each) include appetizers and a drink ticket.
Tickets are now available through www.eventbrite.ca.
And, of course, the gallery is opening Luminescence IV this weekend (Saturday, March 16) with a gala opening starting at 8 p.m. (or 7 p.m. for VIP pass holders).
