Evergreen's Gallerie Diamanté
Gallerie Diamante Artist Appreciation and Opening DATE: November 18 to 29
OPENING: November 18 7-9 pm
TIME: Show available 8 am to 8 pm
LOCATION: Rotary Centre for the Arts
MORE: Gallerie Diamanté is a new concept, pioneered by the Rotary Centre for the Arts to expand upon the traditional silent art auction for the 9th annual Evergreen fundraiser event.

Thirty three artists (and over fifty works of art) from Vernon to Peachland have offered their works to Gallerie Diamanté. Proceeds raised from the sale of donated works are committed to funding the annual costs of Youth Arts Education Programming at the Rotary Centre for the Arts and a contribution will be made to the Endowment Fund held at the Central Okanagan Foundation.

An Artist Appreciation and Exhibition Opening will be held November 18th from 7-9pm and everyone is welcome to view the gallery and meet the artists in person. Public viewing and bidding will be the week prior to and after Evergreen.

To pre-view these works and learn more about the artists involved please visit http://www.galleriediamante.com. For more information on Evergreen please call (250) 717-5304 or visit www.RotaryCentrefortheArts.com.

The calibre of the artists in the Okanagan has risen steadily, exponentially! Definitely do come down and visit the RCA for these three fabulous events, and the RCA is so beautifully decorated, it will warm your heart.

The bars are set very high for each art show, and I am sure you will be amazed at the dedication of our Okanagan artists which results in such a high quality of work. You don't have to go out of Kelowna for any creative Gifts of Colour!

Sincerely,

Julia Trops
