Canadian Art Foundation’s Gallery Hop Gala 2014

2014 Canadian Art Foundation’s Gallery Hop Gala Dinner and Auction- Kool Haus
It in nineteenth year, the Canadian Art Foundation’s annual Gallery Hop Gala and Art Auction which took place on September 18th, 2014 at Kool Haus featured cocktails, dinner and auction of works by established and emerging Canadian artists.

The theme of “Generations” was derived from the fact that their magazine “Canadian Art” is celebrating thirtieth year of publication with the fall 2014 issue.

A mix of contemporary works in the popular art auction were carefully chosen by the Art Advisory Committee: experts in the visual arts. Steven Ranger, the Vice President of Waddington’s, brings over twenty years of experience as the evenings auctioneer.

While guests were enjoying sparkling wine, a large variety of hors d’oeuvres were served: Beef tenderloin wrapped in bacon topped with a truffle aioli and rosemary roasted lamb lollipops with a honey Dijon sauce, vegetable samosas with a spicy pear chutney, Korean BBQ pork buns, spring rolls with a sweet chili sauce, halibut fish cakes, and crab in a crispy parmesan cup.

Guests took their time viewing the original art on display: some photographs, paintings and mixed media works.

This event, which supports the Canadian Art Foundation, offers an opportunity for artists and art lovers to connect while showcasing the exceptional talent of artists in Canada.

A free Canadian Art Foundation Gallery Hop: a day of art, tours and talks, took place at various location across Toronto on September 20, 2014, followed by a party celebrating the launch of Canadian Art magazine’s 30th anniversary issue! Read here
