The art auction will be hosted by Derek Diorio, writer, producer, performer and most recently a director of film and television

Four hundred people celebrated spring at OAG’s exciting gala evening of unique art, wonderful food and drink, and surprise packages. A sell-out event, the Gallery was transformed with unique décor, and participating artists outdid themselves with innovative artwork making the bidding a competitive activity. Guests sampled outstanding culinary masterpieces created by some of Ottawa’s best restaurants and caterers.
