You are invited to the 2023 Martinis & Masterpieces Art Fundraiser & Gala, benefitting Elbow Park School (EPS) and its sister school, James Short Memorial:

EPS In Paris

Et voilà!
Dust off your fancy berets and Parisian couture to join us in appreciating and bidding for beautiful art and exciting auction items.

We have been holding Martinis & Masterpieces for over a decade and it has been an important event in bringing learning enrichment, supplementing EPS' operational budget, contributing cash to our sister school, James Short Memorial, and for bringing together our beloved EPS faculty, parents and school supporters.

Before the event, local artist-in-residence Chlan Grant works with your children at EPS and guides them to paint large artworks inspired by Canadian artists with a focus on themes tied to the curriculum. The student paintings are then auctioned to families at the event as lifelong keepsakes.

This year's limited masterpieces are the last of their kind and only available by live auction at the event so don't miss out and purchase your tickets now.

We look forward to seeing you at the event and thank you for your support!

Bid by Proxy / Donations
If you are keen to take home an art piece and unable to attend, ask a proxy who is willing to represent you at the event.
If you can't attend in person and wish to show support, we suggest a monetary donation equal to two tickets.
