Blind Date Auction Entry

Thank you to the 200 people who attended our fundraiser at the Roundhouse on October 19. We are pleased to announce that we raised $10,000 in net proceeds. New this year, we changed the format of our fundraiser. Guests bid on donated artwork by filling out a bid sheet and placing it in a sealed box. They did not see what others bid. The highest bidder won. We featured a wide selection of art on paper (prints, photographs, drawings, paintings, collages, etc) by Vancouver’s top artists. Special thanks to the Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the HR MacMillan Space Centre for their donations.

Donating artists included Allyson Clay, Amanda Watt, Andrea Taylor, Andreea Mateescu, Barb Choit, Barry Doupé, Ben Duncan, Ben Skinner, Bernadette Phan (donated by Jayce Salloum), Brigitte Potter Mael, Christine D’Onofrio, Dan Starling, Dana Claxton, David MacWilliam, Deborah Koenker, Deirdre McAdams, Derek Dunlop, Diyan Achjadi, Donato Mancini, Edward Juan, Elizabeth McIntosh, Fabiola Carranza, Gabi Dao and Yu Su, Gary Sim, Gerri York, Gwenessa Lam, Heather Passmore, Jack Shadbolt (donated by Torrie Groening), Jade Yumang, Jeff Downer, Jeremy Hof, Jesse Gray, Katherine Coe, Khan Lee, Kyla Mallett, Marina Roy, Matthew Shields, Maya Gulin, Megan Hepburn, Meichen Waxer, Michael Drebert, Michael Lachman, Mike Grill, Renee Van Halm, Richard Tetrault, Rodney Konopaki, Scott Kemp, Sean Arden, Stephanie Gagne, Stephen Waddell, Sonny Assu, Steve Hubert, Tiziana La Melia, Torrie Groening, and Tylor Macmillan.
