 About Paradise Lost and Found

•    who
Celestial bodies, Quixotic idealists…and 500 other beautiful dreamers and Arcadian denizens. Everyone is invited to come dressed as the heavenly creatures they know they are — this is a sophisticated crowd who know how to have fun! (Alternately, you can be snaky or devilish. There was that apple, after all.) The room is literally bursting at the seams with Winnipeg’s fresh, young, creative set from artists and designers to lawyers, entrepreneurs and scene-savvy hipsters: people with an eye for great art, fine food and wine and a fantastic party.

•    what
An evening of celebration and nirvana with dinner, dancing and lots of other utopian dreaminess. Pick up artwork by locally-based, internationally-renowned artists at the gala art auction for the rock-bottom price of $350 per piece (some with current market value in the thousands).
