Brilliance Gala
in honour of Gordon Smith
15 June 2023
The Friends of Gordon Collection
The primary focus of the evening was the extensive Friends of Gordon Collection, a new collection of over 50 artworks that serve as a remarkable testament to the exchange of creativity that Gordon Smith fostered among his peers, as well as those he met throughout his life. The artists represented each contributed an artwork that pays homage to Gordon Smith in some form, whether it be through direct creative kinship and mentorship, or by having worked closely with the Smith Foundation and Artists for Kids. The collection spans a wide range of artistic styles, valuation, and recognition--all with one purpose of showing the vast impact that Gordon had on so many.
