About Birds of a Feather

Who

All of Winnipeg’s beautiful cultural birds—a flock of 400 or so, donning their feathered finery. In past years many guests have turned up in costumes keyed to the evening’s theme. It’s certainly not required, and lots don’t but we all enjoy taking a gander at those who do. All walks and flocks gather at Border Crossings’s parties, from business to the arts, from judges and lawyers to professors and writers, from architects to filmmakers—tout le monde turns out year after year.

What

It’s a grand evening of excellent dining, good wine, lively conversation and fine, fine art. The art pieces—and there will be 78 pieces to chose from—all sell for the same low, low price of $375.

Border Crossings holds a fundraising gala only every second year. Everyone knows there are legends in the West and Border Crossings’s biennial gala is one of them.
