Want to Attend the live event?
If there could be a more quintessential way to celebrate Western culture than an art show set on the banks of the Bow River, steps away from Fort Calgary and the traditional territorial grounds of the Treaty 7 Nations, we can’t imagine what it would be.
Join us at the Deane House for an exceptional afternoon involving art, music, food and drink, and of course, western culture.
Guests will arrive to enjoy the stunning grounds of Deane House, with its extensive riverside patio and garden, amazing views and the most spectacular outdoor dining space in Calgary. The grounds encompass an entire city block of lawns and beautifully tended gardens.
Rain or shine, we’ll have you covered with tenting, market umbrellas and indoor spaces. You’ll be greeted with a welcome West-centric cocktail and served a selection of West-inspired canapés during the viewing period.
Auction viewing begins at 1:00 p.m., followed by an intimate performance and talk by George Canyon. Auction action begins at 2:00 p.m. and wraps up by 6:00 p.m.
Stay for a delicious family style dinner! The Deane House hosts it's accompanying Dinner in the Big Smoke with seating beginning at 5:30 p.m. Dinner tickets can be purchased separately.
