For Immediate Release: Nourish - A Luncheon in Support of the Burnaby Art Gallery
(BURNABY, BC)   The Burnaby Art Gallery's first of many fundraisers, Nourish - A Luncheon in Support of the Burnaby Art Gallery will be held on Saturday, May 7th at Deer Lake Park's Hart House Restaurant.  The understated sophistication of the Burnaby Art Gallery and the casual west coast elegance of the Hart House Restaurant converge to create a relaxed and enchanting afternoon of art, ideas, live music and sumptuous dining.  A limited number of tickets for $100 ($50 tax receipt) may be purchased at the gallery or the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts Box Office as well as through BAGAC members for this artful affair.  The Hart House's chef, Kris Kabush, will prepare a menu of butter lettuce hearts with goat's cheese, hibiscus vinaigrette and pumpkin praline, roasted breast of free range chicken, green beans, wild mushrooms, and roasting pan potatoes, or a vegetarian option of vegetable and chick pea fritter, and the Hart House's signature lemon tart with raspberry paint.  One fortunate guest will have the opportunity to walk away with a framed Gordon Smith serigraph.

Funds raised through Nourish will support the gallery's education programs.  The Burnaby Art Gallery has built an outstanding education program that offers school programs for primary, intermediate, and secondary age groups.  Gallery tours, workshops and outreach programs into the classroom provide creative interaction with the exhibits.  Career programs are available for youth interested in a future in the arts.  Schools in Surrey, Richmond, North Vancouver and Burnaby benefit from these art education programs.  The Burnaby Art Gallery's Advisory Committee (BAGAC), consisting of key members of Burnaby's business community, along with Darrin Martens, the gallery's Director and Curator, recognize the importance of these programs to nourish and nurture students' appreciation and understanding of the visual arts.
