Silent Auction Table
We are a great supporter of charities and try to boost our local miracle crews in their journey to helping the world. Silent auction tables are provided to not only assist in charity funding but hold special items from giving companies and local artists.
Artists from every walk of life in every area of the world encounter the same issue time after time. They are labeled as "Starving Artists", worse than being labeled, they are living as starving artists. Behind the Curtain was put together to try and help artists break free of the stigma that surrounds them. We want to provide a platform that can help individuals come out of the shadows and shine a spotlight on them. Calgary is a thriving well oiled city, and within it are thousands of people who have a love for art. Unfortunately what they don't know is hiding in the shadows trying to be seen is an artists that has exactly what they are looking for.
We hope to change this and give affordable opportunity to those who need a stepping stool. Calgarians need to see exactly what this city has to offer that isn't necessarily propped in an expensive boutique or gallery. Artists both local and abroad are welcome to join, expand your networks, show your works and gain new clientele.
In addition, Behind the Curtain Exposition and Trade Show is a big supporter of Charities. We would like to help support organizations that need to be seen and require a louder voice. We hope to scour the city and one at a time help give a spotlight where it is needed.
