Take Flight Benefit
October 8th – November 8th, 2024

In celebration of 28 years of Vancouver’s beloved art festival, the Eastside Arts Society holds Take Flight – a festival launch benefit for the 2024 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 2024 Silent Auction features some extraordinary items, including a Bocci table lamp, a 3-night stay at The Ivy on Parker Guest House, diamond stud earrings from Era Design, a $350 Fluevogs gift certificate, a double magnum from Burrowing Owl winery, VQFF all-access Festival Passes, 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 8th at 6pm!

Your Support Means A Lot

Supporting Take Flight enables an entire community of artists to have professional opportunities like the 28th Annual Culture Crawl and the Eastside Arts Festival, as well as provide in-studio art workshops for 220 inner city youth and develop an Eastside Arts District. By participating in this benefit, the public galvanizes 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 art for decades to come. ART HAPPENS HERE!

Special thanks to all of the exceptional artists who generously donate their work to support this fundraising initiative.
