LOOP&PARALLEL: KOAC 4th Annual Fall Fundraiser
Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre
Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025
Times: 5:30 – 9pm
Location: Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre (244034 Horizon View Road)
Time to get your tickets for an evening of vibrant contemporary art and community at KOAC’s annual fall fundraiser! Join us on September 6, 2025 for LOOP&PARALLEL — a special art exhibition and exclusive fine art auction that celebrates Katie Ohe and Harry Kiyooka’s longstanding influence in the arts with a special theme that celebrates their bold popularization of postmodern abstraction in Alberta. Think crisp lines, loops and shapes, and mid-century brights. We invite you to have fun with this theme and pull out your bold and bright fits!
The evening will include an exclusive art auction preview sponsored by LEVIS Fine Art, alongside a special exhibition curated by Ash Slemming that highlights the intertwined legacies of KOAC co-founders Katie Ohe and Harry Kiyooka. Featuring artworks that loop back to their aesthetic innovations and run parallel to their enduring impact, the exhibition also celebrates a small selection of contemporary artists whose work shares a kinship with Katie and Harry’s post-modern abstraction and playful use of form and gesture including Chris Cran, Rhys Douglas Farrell, Sinéad Ludwig Burgess, Joanne MacDonald and Kristine Zingeler. The fine art auction features over twenty artists, with works ranging from painting and sculpture to mixed media offering something for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers, all in support of KOAC’s continued programming and vision.
This event is KOAC’s largest fundraising event of the year and proceeds allow KOAC to foster the growth of visual arts; supporting educational art programs and workshops, a vibrant and inclusive artistic community, and sustaining KOAC’s ecologically significant grounds with captivating sculptures that stand as timeless testaments to the value of art and nature, together.
