The I Love Art Rotary Fundraiser Gala gets underway October 20th at 5 p.m. at the High River Autoplex.

It is the fourth time for the bi-annual event which is a major fundraiser for the Rotary Club and they are hoping to help a lot of groups.

Event lead Shelley Bannister says they have art work from about 40 artists at the event, including all of High River's well loved artists.

"It is well loved and well attended by artists from all over the province," said Bannister. "It is one of our major fundraiser's for High River Rotary."

She adds you can mix and mingle with artists and art lovers.

Funds raised from the event will be donated to the High River Hospital Foundation, the High River Handibus to help them purchase another bus and Foothills Search and Rescue for a new mobile command centre.

She said artists love to show their work at this fundraiser because there is lots of space.

"We give them large panels of space so they often are able to show pieces of art here that are not accepted by galleries because they require too much space."

Tickets are available online and at the doors.
