Nation Opportunities
Reach for the Stars Fundraiser Gala
The 9th Annual Reach for the Stars Fundraiser Gala is looking for Squamish Nation artists to submit art samples for consideration to be a part of the live auction. We are looking for painters, carvers, jewelry carvers, fashion designers and more. As there are only 13 live auction spots, space is limited and pieces will be selected on a first come, first serve basis.
The Reach for the Stars Fundraiser Gala takes place on February 28, 2025 at Chief Joe Mathias Centre.
To submit art samples or to ask questions, contact Bianca at info@eliteeventsbybianca.com or 780-580-6953.
