One World: the Atlas Show

The Gabriola Arts Council is hosting their second annual fundraiser gala on January 30, 2016. ONE WORLD: The Atlas Affair will feature the work of sixty Gabriola artists who have ventured into uncharted territory, and transformed simple maps into spectacular pieces of art.

Hosted by Gabriola’s own Shelagh Rogers, this exciting event will be packed with activities and entertainment! First and foremost, come to see what the artists have created, then bid on their work through the live and silent art auction. Groove to world beats from DJ Tim G, witness a jaw-dropping, travel-themed performance by Surprise Guests, and nosh on international hor d’euvres prepared by your favourite local chefs—and served by local teens! Try your luck at the 50/50 draw, become famous, dahling, at the celebrity photo shoot! And to finish the evening—dance the night away to the groovy tunes of Masamba!

All funds raised support arts and culture events on Gabriola.

January 30th at 7 pm at the Community Hall. Tickets are $10 in advance online and at The Hive on Gabriola. Only 250 tickets available—it sold out last year, so get your tickets early!
