It’s coming! The Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba’s 17th Annual Art Auction is happening at the Victoria Inn, Imperial Ballroom on Friday, March 2, 2007.
We left it for a year so we could make the 2007 event extra special because not only is it the 125th Anniversary of the City of Brandon it is also the 100th Anniversary of the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba. In 1907, the Brandon Art Club came together to offer art classes and exhibitions to the people of southwestern Manitoba. Here we are after numerous name changes, locations, and people, loved and lost, in a beautiful facility still doing much the same things we did 100 years ago.

Over 60 artists have contributed work and some have even created pieces just for our auction that mark special moments, people, and places in our combined history. The City of Brandon and the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba have grown up together. Like the best of families it’s time to celebrate all we have done and all we hope to do in the future. Our Gala Dinner will be one great big birthday bash to celebrate the 225 years between us.
With Diane Nelson as our charming and musical Emcee there will be many surprises in store for the evening. We are certain it will follow the tradition of all good birthday parties with hijinks galore and cake afterwards.

Individual tickets for the event are $65 and a table of eight is $480 with all proceeds from the auction and ticket sales go to support the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba art education programs for children and adults. Our visual arts programs enrich life in this region and make Brandon a great place to live!
