101 FRAMES: GLUTTONY
Gallery 101's Annual Fundraiser!

Saturday, December 3, 2011 • 7pm–1am
4-240 Bank Street, Ottawa (Lisgar entrance)
Featuring: MC China Doll • DJ Jas Nasty
Dog and Pony Sound karaoke

101 FRAMES, Gallery 101’s largest annual fundraiser, is thinking “outside the frame” with its 7-year plan to raise some hell in downtown Ottawa. On Saturday, December 3rd, 2011, Gallery 101, will host this highly respected and anticipated event—the fourth of its seven years of THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS. Each year, we ask artists to interpret a different deadly sin. Last year’s event, WRATH, which followed 2008’s LUST and 2009’s PRIDE, was an rabble-rousing success, with anger-inducing artwork, moody DJs spinning vicious tunes, and a bar to indulge at.
This year, G101 encouraged local and regional artists to voraciously create artwork about the most delicious sin in the bunch: GLUTTONY, for this year’s silent art auction, which is followed by a tantalizingly tasty dance and karaoke party, hosted by the scrumptiously funny China Doll. Other tempting features of the event will include some yummy live auction items, mouth-watering appetizers, fat beats, and some surprisingly sinful entertainment and performances. Our over 400 guests will gratify themselves with a night of arts and culture which showcases the talent of Ottawa’s arts community and also supports G101, a local, non-profit artist-run centre. Proceeds from the auction help Gallery 101 maintain its services to artists and the community. This event is supported and made possible by our local artists, sponsors, volunteers and friends. We’re hungry for attention, so please help us spread the word about this event and that Gallery 101 is proud be supporting the arts community in Ottawa for over 30 years.
