"What Happens At Artspace Stays At Artspace" Fundraiser Is Saturday Night

/

With approximately 135 fabulous art pieces up for grabs, Artspace must be the place to be on Saturday night. This annual fundraiser, with the support of members and artists from the area, is a great chance to grab something original and striking, while also benefiting this awesome space.

Billed as "What Happens At Artspace Stays At Artspace", this night is always a blast to the spring scene, and Saturday night should be no different. Contributing artists include prints by George Rabb and Peter Barron, mixed media by Shannon Taylor, works in glass by Paul Oldham, and paintings by the likes of John Climenhage, Micky Renders and Lyall Brownlee.

Musical variety is on the agenda, as well as a roulette wheel which will be raffling prizes throughout the evening. Tickets are $100 for individuals (includes one artwork) or $150 for couples (includes one artwork) and are available from the Artspace website, or from the gallery.

The event kicks off at 7 p.m. and goes into the wee hours of the morning. Artspace is located at 378 Aylmer Street North, Unit 3. For more information, contact Artspace at 705-748-3883 or via email at gallery@artspace-arc.org.
