Pure Art Water by BRUNO BILLIO at the Toronto Hearts Japan Silent Auction

OPENING RECEPTION
Friday April 1st
7-10pm
Venue: Gladstone Gallery (2nd Floor)
Fundraiser, Special Event, Visual Arts

International artist BRUNO BILLIO has made a name for himself around the city for his interior design works and installation practices. These two aspects of his career tend to co-mingle. On Friday April 1, at the Gladstone Gallery's silent auction you will have the opportunity to aquire a bottle of BRUNO BILLIO'S 'Pure Art Water' poured from the taps at the Gladstone Hotel. Your support at this event will help raise much needed funds that will be donated to The Red Cross.

Narwhal Art Projects, Invisible-Friends, the Galdstone Hotel and friends are excited to host Toronto Hearts Japan, a fundraiser for our far-away loves.

Our hearts have been broken by news of devastated towns and people separated from their homes and families, and we want to help. This event lets all of us who feel a special connection to Japan lend a hand in our own way. All proceeds will be donated to The Red Cross and to helping rebuild the Birdo Flugas Artist Centre and Community in Shiogama.

Toronto Hearts Japan is an exhibition, silent auction, and two (count them!) parties at the beloved Gladstone Hotel (with DJ Paul E. Lopes and DJ Jun). Featuring works from local to international artists (and other surprises too), everybody can find a way to offer our hearts to Japan and help them soldier on.
