Patrons of the arts can witness the rebirth of the Saint John Arts Centre by going to Renaissance, their major fundraiser for 2013. Andrew Kierstead, the executive director, says that the event will give attendees the chance to experience the positive changes that have taken place over the last two years, and re-discover their arts centre.
The spring fundraiser for the non-profit organization takes place on May 2, from 7-9 pm, and will be a night of food, drink and music, where guests have the chance to buy one of a limited number of original pieces of art, donated by local artists, and can also enter a draw where the winners can pay $100 for a 6×6 mystery work. Tickets are limited to 200 and are $75 a pop. You can buy them at the SJAC, 20 Peel Plaza, or by calling (506) 633-4870. Office hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm.
