The Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB) has announced its upcoming spring gala, "Seeds of Change," scheduled for May 7th. The event features a farm-to-table dinner helmed by Executive Chef Matteo Paonessa, a silent auction, and a preview of a new solo exhibition by Argentine artist Celina Eceiza titled "A material called Earth, Vol 1: The life of corners." The gala also highlights the gallery's new Community & Medicine Garden, an initiative where artists-in-residence will harvest natural materials for pigments and textiles.
This fundraiser is a vital local event designed to maintain the AGB’s commitment to accessible programming, including free gallery admission and affordable educational workshops. By integrating culinary arts with visual culture and environmental initiatives, the gallery seeks to strengthen its ties with the regional community while supporting its mission as a premier visual arts institution in Ontario.
