Local Artists Collaborate in Fundraiser Auction for Charity

URGENT UPDATE: On November 8, 2023, local artists gathered at 625 Branion Drive for a unique fundraising event called “Speed Dating with a Canvas.” This innovative initiative saw participants create a series of collaborative paintings in just two hours, fostering creativity while supporting their community.

Artists paid $10 for a canvas and were given approximately eight minutes to contribute to each artwork before passing it to the next creator. This rapid-fire collaboration not only resulted in stunning pieces but also sparked joy and laughter throughout the night. The final touches were added by the original creators, who had an additional 15 minutes to perfect their work.

The event, which proved to be a therapeutic exercise for many, aimed to raise funds for two local charities: Rose Garden Hospice and Sandra’s Framing Gallery and Gifts’ “Christmas Gifts for Prince Albert Shelters.” All proceeds from the auction will be split equally between these important causes.

Participants and attendees are encouraged to bid on the finished artworks by commenting on individual photos displayed at Sandra’s Framing Gallery and Gifts. Each piece is ready for hanging, making them perfect additions to any home.

The community impact of this event cannot be overstated. Not only did artists express their creativity, but they also came together to support vital local services. As the pieces are auctioned, the excitement builds, indicating a strong community commitment to helping those in need.

With a blend of artistry and philanthropy, “Speed Dating with a Canvas” is a testament to the power of local initiatives. The energy and enthusiasm of the participants highlight a shared vision of giving back, making this event a must-share story for anyone passionate about community support.

Stay tuned for more updates as the auction progresses and community members rally behind these worthy causes.
