ARTattack at The Miller Art Gallery: Arts Fundraiser in Edmonton

On September 19th, 2025 another edition of the ARTattack fundraiser opens at the Miller Art Gallery. This annual Arts fundraiser in Edmonton helps support the Peck Visual Art Program and the Miller Art Gallery inside the Roxy Theatre.

The Miller Art Gallery and the Peck Visual Arts program are proud partners of Theatre Network, located within the Roxy Theatre in Edmonton. Established in 2022 by Theatre Network, the Miller Art Gallery was created to diversity the programming and take advantage of the expanded space within the new Roxy under the curatorial direction of Jared Tabler.

The Miller Art Gallery is the proud home of the Peck Visual Arts program, which focuses on championing the best in Canadian contemporary art and elevating the work of Canadian artists. We are creating an artist’s home, with a sense of community, where people feel valued, are elevated and have a safe space to develop and grow. We invite audiences to engage and connect through visual art and transform their understanding of the world around them.

This year’s ARTattack fundraiser titled; Iconic Brands offers 20 Canadian Artists’ takes on the theme. This years artists are: Jai Tanninen, Curtis Trent, Josh Harnack, Sean Allan, Charlene Johnson, Nick Ross, Brandy Saturley, Marcie Rohr, DUNCE, Lydon Hurst, Sarah Jackson, Beto Vigo, Riki Kuropatwa, E.R. Gott, Patrick Marino, Michael McLean, Denise Lefebvre, Justina Smith, Maverick McGinn, and Dean Pickup. Each artist has created work based on their own interpretation of the theme in their unique and definitive style. The works will be auctioned off during ARTattack on September 19th with all of the proceeds supporting the Peck Visual Art Program at the Miller Art Gallery.

When I was invited to donate a work to this important event I immediately began thinking of iconic Canadian brands. With a limited canvas size of 14×14 inches I was looking to create a bold message with the brand logo as the focal point. There are so many iconic Canadian brands to choose from like the Hudson’s Bay stripes and the purple and gold of Crown Royal Whisky, but for this event I chose Hawkins Cheezies with it’s bold red and white stripes and vividly orange Cheezies set against a complimentary teal background. The piece feels like childhood and fun memories of eating the favourite snack after school or late night in front of the TV. They could be spilled out during a card game or a late night chat session with a friend. As an adult I prefer my Cheezies with a nice glass of wine, making the perfect pairing for a lazy evening. Get your tickets and score some ‘Iconic Art’. See all the paintings here.
