Canvas Conversations 2016

Last month on Feb. 25th I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in this year’s Canvas Conversations with ‘The Art Room‘ @ The New Dawn Centre For Social Innovation. It was a night to remember! So well received with everyone that attended, bid, painted and encouraged by the Emcee Wendy Bergfeldt, Auctioneer Larry MacLean and musicians Janet Bickerton, Ralph Dilton and of course all the artists!
The Canvas Conversations 2016 was in Support of Transition House Foundation and The Art Room. Anyone that knows me knows that I’ve been a volunteer for The Transition House Foundation for many years and the last two years I have occupied the seat of President. Really I’m honoured to be with such great women who are on the board. That’s how I came to be included in this years event along with so many other Great Capers who contribute to our community in so many ways. The proceeds raised from Canvas Conversations went in part to the Transition House here in Cape Breton. Last year it was Access 808 for at-risk youth.
