During the fun event taking place at Mahon Hall on October 24, tickets holders will:

– Enjoy the soulful, evocative songs of Yael Wand
– Learn fascinating facts about Garry Oak Meadows and other secrets of trees

SILENT ART AUCTION
Early access for ticket holders! On Friday night, the evening before the fundraiser, ticket holders will be able to preview, but not bid on, the tantalizing “forest of artwork” on the stage of Mahon from 5 pm to 8 pm. These works of art were created for this theme by a variety of the island’s revered artists, and a couple of youth!
The proceeds of the silent art auction support Salt Spring Arts Council.
