April 28, 2011 - Kelowna, BC: The Kelowna Art Gallery is pleased to announce our 5th GO Party fundraiser on Friday, May 13, 2011, 7-10 pm, entitled Elegance & Eloquence. We invite attendees to show off their early 1960s style and sophistication, emulating the fashion of Hollywood icons such as Warren Beatty, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, and the incomparable Audrey Hepburn. 

 

The evening will feature door prizes, a silent auction, complimentary refreshments, a cash bar, photo studio, and musical entertainment by jazz singer Anna Jacyszyn. Bar service will be provided by Urban Distilleries, makers of Spirit Bear Vodka and Gin. Guests can expect a fashionable and entertaining evening, kicking off their weekend in style with a true cultural experience. All galleries will be open, with all exhibitions available for viewing. 

 

This special event celebrates the opening of Gabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the Everyday, an exhibition on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery May 14 through                  August 14, 2011. This touring exhibition is organized by the Musée d'art de Joliette and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. It is a remarkable selection of photographs of cityscapes, architectural views, and portraiture from the past five decades, taken in Hungary, rural Quebec, and Montreal.
