TRUNK Gallery & auto/ONE
Established in 2007 within the auto/ONE showroom, TRUNK Gallery is Vancouver’s one-stop shopping for fine art and Ferraris. TRUNK Gallery’s aim is to engage and educate those who are new to the contemporary art scene the car- come-art gallery features the work of seven artists: one being Heidi Conrod, the featured artist at the event.

About Heidi Conrod
Featured artist, Heidi Conrod, is the creator of paintings based on remembered landscapes. Viewers are engaged in a state between reality and fantasy as the texture of oil, wax and glaze create depth and unexpected layers. In this sense, the landscapes are more internal than external in their use of mediation on memory and distance.

About Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS
UNICEF’s Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign is a global initiative that is responding to the lack of attention given to the needs of children and adolescents within the context of the AIDS pandemic. In Canada, the goal is to raise funds for UNICEF’s work while fostering corporate social responsibility, encouraging increased pediatric AIDS research and development, and advocating for an elevated commitment to affected children by the Canadian government.
