Chinatown’s Access Gallery is holding its annual fundraiser this week. Starting last night, art enthusiasts are invited to pop into the E. Georgia Street space to check out A Vibrant Assemblage, an eclectic exhibition of works donated by over 50 local and international artists. Each of which will be up for grabs at an auction this Saturday night. If you’ve been looking for the perfect piece of art to hang at home or at work, this could be a great opportunity to score cool, original art for a reasonable price AND snag a few karma points (your contribution helps Access to deliver quality programming to the community). Admission is $20, and includes membership at Access Gallery for the calendar year. Absentee bids will be accepted until 5:00pm, Saturday, November 14. To place an absentee bid or make another enquiry email Director/Curator Kimberly Philips at k.phillips [at] accessgallery.ca – but we really suggest you poke your head in to see the show!

Now through Sat, Nov 14 | Access Gallery | 222 E Georgia Street | Chinatown
