Palettes of Progress is a great opportunity for all art lovers and people who like to support local artists, non-profits, businesses and the community.

Artfusion is hosting a fundraising gala on October 19. The evening will be filled with incredible live paintings by Raeart, live music by local musicians Chad Price and DJ Freek, a silent auction by local artists and a buffet-style spread.

In the past three years, Artfusion has showcased over 5,000 pieces of work, participated in over 60 events and has grown from a collection of 12 artists to over 300.

Ryan Mahy, art director and founder of Artfusion said, "Artfusion was built by the community for the community, and we are thrilled to have seen it grow so rapidly and in such a short period of time. We would not be here without the support of our fellow community members."

Palettes of Progress takes place on October 19 in the Artfusion Gallery in Citi Plaza (355 Wellington St.) and begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are $60, and space is limited.

Artfusion operates independently and relies on donations and sale of local art to continue its contribution to the London community. For more information, go to palettesofprogress.ca.
