18th Annual Art on the Line Gala and Fundraiser
February 1, 2020 at 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$190
This popular annual event brings together the local arts community to celebrate the work of our students, faculty, alumni, as well as artists practicing in the community in the spirit of raising funds.
The evening is an entertaining art raffle with many more exciting prizes available to be won. over 100 works of art are collected from local artists, faculty, and students. One ticket admits two people to the event, and guarantees winning one work of art from the collection. Even the last ticket drawn has a choice from over 20 works, which creates an atmosphere of suspense and entertainment.
Funds raised from this event are distributed amongst the Visual Arts Course Union to financially aid with events such as the 4th year graduate exhibition, visiting artists, and art focused student trips. Each year, 10% of the proceeds go to a local charity.
One ticket ($190) admits 2 people and guarantees you go home with one piece of artwork!
Tickets for $10 can also be purchased at the door for those guests who want to attend the event, but not purchase a piece of artwork.
This year’s event is sponsored by alumni UBC.
