Take Flight

Oct 22, 2025 - Nov 04, 2025

Take Flight Benefit
October 21st – November 4th, 2025

In celebration of 29 years of Vancouver’s beloved art festival, the Eastside Arts Society holds Take Flight – a festival launch benefit for the 2025 Culture Crawl festival featuring an online silent auction, and the return of our wildly popular Art Roulette draw!

By making this benefit a success, our audiences galvanize EAS’s work in making the Eastside Arts District the vibrant neighbourhood we know and love – and will ensure we can continue to bring our community together through accessible art for decades to come. ART HAPPENS HERE!

Silent Auction

Our 2025 Silent Auction features some extraordinary items, including an exclusive curator-led tour of the VAG, a 3-night stay at The Ivy on Parker Guest House, a $350 Fluevogs gift certificate, a double magnum from Burrowing Owl winery, fine crafts and so much more. Check out the whole collection of fabulous items online at 32 Auctions very soon.

The Silent Auction opens October 25th and closes November 4th at 6pm!
