Raffle Update

In Celebration of their first full year in the TOSH10 Gallery/Studio in The Old School House Gallery in Qualicum Beach, the 10 member artists of TOSH10 gave back to their communities.

They raised $720. 00 for the Canadian Cancer Society. All money raised will go to the CCS. This was achieved by all of the artists selling tickets for a raffle for a painting donated by one of the artists.

The painting was won by Deb Cameron of DeWinton Alberta, who visited the TOSH10 Gallery/Studio in the Fall. She was thrilled to have won, and was very happy to hear that $720.00 will go to the Cancer Society.

Thanks to all of the artists at TOSH10.
