Featuring lively discussions, thought-provoking work, wine, cheese, and a selection of Donohue's art available for sale, this Gallery Reception will not be an event to miss.

"With the recent opening of VCAD's state-of-the-art gallery in downtown Calgary, we are delighted to utilize this space in promoting the work of new and renowned artists alike," says Teresa Vaccaro, Regional Director of Operations, VCAD. "We're proud to offer free gallery space to artists that inspire and engage our students, while fostering creativity among other art and design professionals."
