Join us for a fun-filled night of art, merriment, music and more, at the inaugural Gala 1313 Celebration & Silent Auction!
We will be hosted by MC, Russell Smith, novelist, editor and cultural commentator. His most recent book is the story collection ‘Confidence’. He was a weekly arts columnist at the Globe and Mail for 20 years and and lives in Parkdale.
The evening will include a special performance by one of our own artist members, Sandra Baron, a Violinist from the Canadian Opera Company.
And features live entertainment by emerging Canadian musician, Sean Bertram, who recently released his debut album, “The Right Place”. At 21 years old, Sean Bertram is a formidable talent: a jaw-dropping young guitar-slinger who is equally comfortable in jazz, pop, and rock, a singer with a pure voice and dizzying falsetto, and a songwriter who makes the craft look deceivingly easy. Often compared to John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and Ben Folds, his music weaves stories of love, loss, heartache, and self-discovery through harmonically innovative songs that, if they don’t make you cry, will make you dance.
Enjoy tasty appetizers and cocktails while you browse and bid on exclusively donated art by several of our artist members or see what catches your eye amongst the variety of gifts & services donated generously by local Parkdale / Queen W. shops and sponsors.
This event promises to bring warmth and enjoyment on a January evening!
