Royal City Gogos Art Auction

The art exhibition is in its penultimate venue at Gibsons.  To date it has been shown in 12 centres in BC and Alberta raising funds and awareness for African grandmothers.  In each venue, the grandmothers groups hosting the show have invited their communities and created special events.  Funds raised in the events surrounding the show have now reached +$30,000 and approximately 10,000 viewers have seen this moving exhibition.
The show will be in Gibsons for the month of February at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery and then it comes back to Vancouver.  The Vancouver and Richmond grandmothers groups will host it at the Unitarian Church at 49th and Oak St.  With an opening reception, craft sale and chocolate tasting, their events should draw a crowd.  
Meanwhile committees of Royal City Gogos are hard at work planning the reception, the mechanics of the auction, and the publicity campaign.  It's exciting but daunting.  We want to maintain the high standard we have set for events, make sure our guests have FUN and make tons of money for African grandmothers.  Tickets will go fast!  It's a good thing we have online bidding.  I've chosen 2-3 pieces I would love to have in my home.  I HOPE the bidding doesn't go beyond my budget.  Watch this space.
