The table is nearly set for Fort Gallery’s biggest event of the year — the annual Blue Plate Special. The yearly fundraiser, which is held inside the historic Fort Langley Community Hall and supports the innovative, artist-run Fort Gallery takes place on Friday, Oct. 14.
Once again 40 tickets will be made available for $200 each.
Those ticket numbers will be randomly drawn, with the holder of the first ticket drawn being the first person to choose an original contemporary work produced by one of the gallery’s artists. Each piece is guaranteed to be worth more than the price of admission. The next ticket drawn will then choose from the remaining works, and so on.
The evening will also include an appetizer buffet, music, and access to a silent auction of more great art.
Tickets are also available for $30. These will allow the holder access to everything but the art draw.
There are a limited number of tickets and a limited number of artworks available. Tickets can be purchased from the Fort Gallery in person or by phone at 604-888-7411. The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m.
The $30 tickets can also be purchased from Wendel’s Bookstore and Café in Fort Langley, and at the Yellowhead Trading company in Fort Langley.
Friday, Oct. 14 from 7 p.m. to midnight, in the historic Fort Langley Community Hall.
