Contemporary Calgary's LOOK2014 Art and Fundraiser Gala
Presented by Holt Renfrew
Contemporary Calgary is an organization that was formed in January 2014
through the merger of the Art Gallery of Calgary, the Museum of Contemporary
Art Calgary and the Institute of Modern and Contemporary Art. Its mission is to
develop Calgary into a global city of choice by connecting the city with the
arts of our times. The current vision is to redesign the iconic
Centennial Planetarium into the destination for modern and contemporary arts.
For the first time on November 1st, the
Contemporary Calgary will be hosting a one-of-a-kind fundraising art gala: LOOK2014, which is said to bring people
the unparallel experience. Presented by Holt Renfrew, and supported by Enbridge
and the Calgary Herald, LOOK2014 will be an extraordinary evening of
art-auction, live entertainment, live-art installations, superior DJ sounds,
and mouth-watering delicacy by Hotel Arts’ Chef Duncan Ly, all happening in a
posh underground space.
“We are delighted to invite
the world to see the future of contemporary art in Calgary and to offer the
opportunity to be a part of it from the beginning.” Said Erin O’Connor, Interim
Manager of Contemporary Calgary. “Our plans are to create a major museum of
modern and contemporary art, and LOOK2014 on November 1st is the
place we’ll start. People will feel the excitement of what is possible.”
Premium ticket is $250 and
VIP is $500. VIP ticket holders will have the chance to rub shoulders with
best-selling author and one of the world’s most influential thought leaders Richard Florida, hosted by Dave Kelly.
In addition to live and
silent art-auctions, draws will be held throughout the night for covetous door
prizes including a $10,000 Holt Renfrew shopping spree. All of the funds raised
in the evening goes to support the Contemporary Calgary, elevating this city’s
global presence of art and culture. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of
one of the most talked about events this year – tickets are available online at:
