PARTY PICS

Bill Reid Gallery’s Raven’s Feast (June 6, 2024)

Opened in 2008, the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art in Vancouver marked its 15th anniversary at its annual Raven’s Feast Gala Dinner and Auction. The only public gallery dedicated to contemporary Indigenous Northwest Coast art, the downtown cultural gem welcomed 110 guests to a celebratory gala to raise a glass to the B.C. artist and to support future programming ensuring emerging and established Indigenous artists have the opportunity to exhibit and share their stories.

An Evening in Support of CampOUT! (June 4, 2024)

June was also Pride month, a time to honour the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay liberation movement in the United States. As part of Pride month festivities in the city, UBC’s CampOUT! held it’s marquee fundraiser, An Evening in Support of CampOUT!, presented by Vancity. An impressive $92,000 was raised in support of the outdoor leadership program for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in BC.

Face the World Gala (June 15, 2024)

Jacqui Cohen welcomed 250 friends into her Point Grey Road family home for her 33rd Face the World Gala. At $2,500 a head, the party attracted the city’s most prominent business, community and philanthropic leaders who dined on a make-shift floor above Cohen’s tented swimming pool. Attendees enjoyed a Veuve Clicquot reception, Gotham Steakhouse meal and danced the night away, but not before bringing comfort to the less fortunate in our community. Significant sums were exchanged when yours truly and Howard Blank took to the auctioneer podium. The glitzy affair would ultimately raise $1.7 million—a new fundraising standard.
