YWCA VineART Gala & Art Auction – Supporting a Great Cause in Banff

For over a decade, VINEart Gala & Art Auction in Banff has stood as a testament to action, impact, and transformation. This year, they celebrate the resilience of those who have turned to them for support, and the strength of a community united for change.

This is my second year supporting this important organization in Banff, through the silent art auction. Funds raised will support YWCA Banff’s residential programs including emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable housing, and counselling services. A portion of funds will support our Higher Ground Project, YWCA Banff’s plan to build a new facility in Canmore to increase our capacity to deliver critical services to our community.

For the silent auction I have donated two small works – paintings of an inquisitive moose in acrylic and gold leaf.

Maple Moose: Wendel the moose floating down a glacial river in the Rockies in a red canoe called maple – BID NOW

Majestic Mooseness: Wendel with his crown of gold leaf stands on guard in front of a waving Canadian flag – BID NOW

The silent auction is live now online and you will also be able to bid at the event on March 14, 2025 at the Fairmont Banff Springs. When you arrive at VINEart Gala & Auction, register your cellphone number at the registration table. You will then receive a link by text message to our online silent auction portal – Givergy.
