Indulge your passion for the arts and join us for a spectacular evening in appreciation of the local artists. You’ll enjoy art masterpieces at the event art exhibition, hors d’oeuvres and an open bar service, Gala dinner, silent auction with the number of product and... services, Art Live auction, entertainment and dance at the after party!

Ladies and Gentlemen! It is a great honour to introduce you one more paticipating artist - Mariya Blyznyuk! Sometimes she prefers painting with a palette knife over a brush. "Painting with a palette knife forces me to loosen up. I focus on shapes and colors, not being consciously aware that I am painting a person or a tree. I let the colors and values that I place on the canvas tell that story. Painting with a palette knife also gives me more of an impasto surface. The paint has dimension, a quality I like." If you want to see more of Mariya's works, please join us on May 6th at the National! 7:00 – 8:30 PM – Art Exhibition & Cocktail Reception 8:30 – 9:30 PM – Gala Dinner with main stage presentation of the participating artists 9:30 - 10:00 - Art Live Auction 10:30 - Silent Auction closes 10:00 – 12:00 PM – After Party Dress Code: Semi-Formal Tickets are $100pp* and are on sale at the National Banquet Hall, Yummy Market and at www.torontovka.com (*includes art exhibition, hors d’oeuvres, open bar, gala dinner, after party entertainment and service fee).
