Events & Lifestyle

Have you always wanted to purchase artwork without having to pay cold, hard cash for it?  Now here’s your chance to “buy” artwork using volunteer hours as the currency!   The third annual Vancouver Timeraiser (at the Roundhouse Community Center in Yaletown) is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. Throughout the evening meet with different organization (“agencies”) and match your skills to their needs.  Once you’ve chosen the appropriate agency, start bidding … in volunteer hours!! You have 12 months to fulfill your pledge to the agency … only then can you bring your artwork home as a reminder of your goodwill.  I’ll be at the Timeraiser media event next week so stay tuned for more information about the Timeraiser organization, the contributing artists and their artwork, the agencies, and the volunteers involved who make this happen!  In the meantime, entrance tickets for $20 can be purchased here for Timeraiser 2010.
