Take Flight
Take Flight Benefit
October 26th – November 4th, 2023
In celebration of 27 years of Vancouver’s beloved art festival, the Eastside Arts Society holds Take Flight – a festival launch benefit for the 2023 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 2023 Silent Auction features some extraordinary items, including Sunshine Coast vacation getaway packages, diamond stud earrings from Grimson & Sons, a $350 Fluevogs gift certificate, a double magnum from Burrowing Owl winery, a glassmaking workshop, Folk Fest passes, fine crafts and so much more. Check out the whole collection of fabulous items here.
The Silent Auction opens October 26th and closes November 4th at 6pm!
