Get Lucky Art Show Winners & Highlights

Art, high energy parade festivities, and an exciting lucky raffle draw – we sure did kick the year off with a bang! Our very first Get Lucky Art Show was a tremendous success. Over 300 people came through to see the show, where we had 140 pieces of art on display from 35 local artists (meet the artists and read all their bios here). The unique and diverse range in creativity blew everyone away – red envelopes were drawn or painted on, cut, collaged, and even knitted.

Guests were treated to a private lion dance, as we were blessed with a special detour from the parade route into the exhibition space to bring us extra luck (prayer hands to Mah Benevolent Society of Vancouver.) And it isn’t a party without a table full of eats – gracing our snack spread were delicious bites courtesy of The Uncommon Café, refreshments from Milano Coffee Roasters and Yangjing Beer, and a selection of our favourite lucky candies for good measure. We’re so overwhelmed with the positive feedback from guests and artists alike, that we’re already thinking about how to make it even better next year!

We would not be able to put this on without the support of our sponsors. Big ups to Fortune Sound Club for hosting us in their Projects Space, hua foundation for helping with supplies and greeting guests at the door, Blast Media Inc. and PrintPrint.ca for signage and printing, and our volunteer squad for jumping in to get things done. It really does take a village, and we are so grateful.
