Display of new DCDH at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery's annual art auction
On Friday, June 23, the Dawson Creek Art Gallery hosted their 40th annual art auction. This year's theme was "Come Fly With Me" as the auction took place inside the aircraft hanger on Northern Lights College's campus. The event featured over 30 pieces of artwork from local and regional artists open for bidding.
To accompany the beautiful pieces of art, Northern Health was invited to feature an exhibit for the new Dawson Creek and District Hospital.
Ashley Pannozzo, Community Engagement Liaison and Jennifer Dunn, Clinical Lead set up a table and were there to answer questions about the project, share the project's fact sheet and information about upcoming milestones, and build excitement about the project with the display of artistic renderings of some of the spaces within the new facility.
The evening began with portraits and sketches by local artist Gary Lowe, mini-games to start the fun, piano tunes by Julie LaForge, and sweet and savoury snacks from Beans&Barley. Attendees enjoyed refreshments by Browns Socialhouse, a buffet dinner by Don's Diner, and a silent auction with over 40 items. The evening concluded with the art auction which was a huge success and live music by Graydon Schilds, Christian Kiyawasew and Cody Fonda.
Thank you again to the Dawson Creek Art Gallery for inviting us to be part of this exciting annual event. It truly was a remarkable evening filled with amazing pieces of artwork, great conversations with local partners and lots of fun!
