An Ode to the Penny Location: ING DIRECT - 600 6 Ave SW When: Thursday, November 01, 2012 at 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM Contact: Jonathan Glover Email: jglover@ingdirect.ca WebSite: ingyycpenny.eventbrite.com The ING DIRECT Calgary Café (@OrangeYYC) is sad to see the penny go, but we wanted to do something really cool to say our good-byes and honour that little piece of copper. So we are teaming up with our friends at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary (@bgcc1939) to put on an evening you will never forget… "An Ode To The Penny". 10 young artists from their Community Clubs programs across the city will be creating 10 masterpieces dedicated to the penny and unveiling them to the world right in our café with a special all-ages "gala evening" on Thursday November 1. The ING DIRECT Calgary Café will be transformed into an orange art gallery. Mix and mingle with your fellow art-loving Calgarians…meet the talented artists…and enjoy an evening dedicated to the one cent piece. Bring your pennies as you will be able to cast your votes for your favourite masterpieces. Enter to win some great door prizes. And the best part, Mister YYC (aka John Smiley) will don his auctioneer's hat from 6:30-7:15 as each piece of art goes on the auction block. All proceeds from the entire evening will go straight to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary, plus a little something extra from us. Can't make the event? The art will be on display throughout the month of November so you can still come by, view, and continue to vote with your pennies. So save the date and we hope you can join in on the fun with us here at the ING DIRECT Calgary Café to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary!
