COMING HOME with Tom Wilson Tehohàhake and Terra Lightfoot

The evening begins with a gallery art show at 6:30 p.m., followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m. A live auction is also part of this Carnegie Gallery fundraiser. The concert ends at 11 p.m.

This year, the Carnegie Gallery is hosting a fundraising concert for their beloved home on October 9th at The Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre and they would love for you to be a part of this event. It is Thanksgiving weekend and in the spirit of bringing family together, the theme for the evening will be COMING HOME.

As the Carnegie Gallery, located in the heart of Downtown Dundas, their mandate has always been to promote and support local artists. This year, we have enlisted the help of two of our most brilliant hometown stars: Tom Wilson and Terra Lightfoot. They will bring an immensely rich and dynamic evening of entertainment and storytelling.

To help them continue their legacy of bringing local fine art and craft to the community, your purchase of a ticket will go directly towards repairing the roof of their 116 year old building.
