Red Wine, Blue Cheese, Green Art
In just a few weeks Green Calgary will be putting on a spectacular fundraising event at Hotel Arts in Calgary! I’m thrilled to be the MC for this event as it promises to be a great night in support of a great organization working to make Calgary a greener city. Mark November 3rd in your calendar and pick up your tickets here!
Green Calgary is a dynamic, non-profit urban environmental organization with a mission to empower Calgarians to create healthy homes and communities through environmental education, products and services.
Art and design can have unique abilities to engage, inspire, and move people toward a healthy environment and a peaceful, sustainable world. This event, hosted by Olympic Medalist and environmental champion Kristina Groves, is a twin celebration of local sustainability –a celebration of connections between art and the environment by showcasing environmentally themed work by local artists and the achievements of Green Calgary.
Please join us for a gala fundraising evening on behalf of Green Calgary, the city’s leading urban sustainability non-profit organization. The inaugural “Red Wine, Blue Cheese, Green Art” gala celebrates the connections between arts and the environment. The highlight of the event will be an auction of environmentally themed works by local artists.
