Kelowna Art Gallery Annual 
Seeing Red & White 
Fundraiser

Saturday October 24, 2009

This evening of fine art, fine dining, fine wine, and dancing will be a night to remember, with music performed by local musicians The Darylectones, food prepared by award-winning Joy Road Catering, a sparkling wine reception sponsored by Leona Baxter, delicious red and white wines from local wineries, and beer from Cannery Brewing.

There will also be a silent auction that will include dozens of works of art by well-known local artists, as well as home décor accessories, hotel packages, wine packages and much more. Guests will view on-site painting by local artists, with the works they create being auctioned live at the end of the evening.

The title sponsor for this year’s event is Chris Sorensen of Investors Group Securities Inc. Sorensen says “The strength of this community lies in its people and all that they make possible. The arts are an integral part of  Kelowna 's successful future, and I am honoured to sponsor the gallery’s premier fundraiser this year. I have attended this fundraiser for the past few years, and I am excited by the changes this year that will make Seeing Red & White fresh and exciting.  The event has already confirmed more than 20 works of art by local artists and will build on its reputation as the premier art auction in the Valley. I can’t wait to see what the evening holds.”

Kelowna Art Gallery Executive Director, Dona Moore , says “We’re excited about the changes and additions we have made to this year’s event. We have been fortunate to have the continued support from Mission Hill Family Estate and Quails’ Gate Estate Winery for the past three years, and are happy to have them on board again. We are also thrilled with the commitment of Chris Sorensen as the title sponsor of this year’s event and the addition of Raven Ridge Cidery and Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery. We are pleased to be working with Joy Road Catering as they focus on using local, in-season ingredients, and being socially responsible by helping to sustain the farmers and artisans who represent the agricultural heritage of the Okanagan.”

Proceeds from this annual fundraiser support innovative exhibitions and public programming at the Kelowna Art Gallery .

Embrace the Red & White … add a splash of either or both colours to your attire.
