EXCEPTIONAL ART INSTALLATIONS

Plunge into the themes of True in dazzling fashion with specially commissioned gala installations by Governor General's Award winner John Oswald. Oswald, a multidisciplinary Toronto artist acclaimed by the Observer, the New York Times and Rolling Stone, among other publications, will transform the Carlu with images, sounds and performances to create an unforgettable experiential encounter. Life-size in flesh, time, voice and light, Oswald's art will leave you questioning what is real and what is not. Called a god by some and an alchemist by others, Oswald is a maverick influence on generations of Canadian creatives. This one-night-only opportunity to participate in Oswald's innovative, free-ranging universe is not to be missed.

VIBRANT EDUCATIONAL AMBASADORS

Tap into the knowledge and enthusiasm of tomorrow's curators, artists and critics through the gala's new educational ambassadors program. This unique learning initiative offers secondary students the opportunity to develop expertise about the energetic contemporary art scene in Canada and to share that information with Gallery Hop guests. The student art ambassadors will be available to provide information about artworks on view at the gala auction. Do not hesitate to engage them—they know much about the auction offerings and are eager to share key insights with you.
