There’s less than a month until the Western Front’s Luxe Hall hosts one of the year’s most exciting art and fundraising parties, the 46th Anniversary Gala Dinner & Art Auction. On Saturday, March 2nd, beginning at 6pm, over two dozen artists will be providing 30 pieces of art for live auction (a physical and online preview of the art is scheduled for Friday, March 1st from 1 – 6pm).

The participating talents span the disciplinary gamut – from sculpture and painting to video – and they include international names and local talents such as Colleen Brown, Patrick Cruz, Derya Akay, Howie Tsui, Khan Lee and Justin Langlois (to list just a handful). In addition to all of the awesome art action, attendees can expect entertainment in the form of live musical performances, as well as a cocktail reception and spectacular long table dinner (created by Hawksworth Restaurant and served-family style).

Since there are only 100 tickets available for the event, you’ll want to get yours ASAP. To secure your attendance to this exclusive and once-a-year event, head over here.
