I had the privilege to photograph L’Arche Greater Vancouver’s 1st Annual The Art of Being Together fundraiser.

The L’Arche community strives to support and value each person’s spiritual journey. People with developmental disabilities and those who assist them live in a family-like surrounding where meaningful friendships, mutual respect and helping each other discover our gifts and abilities.

The day included the showing of juried works of art from the community at-large as well as artwork from the L’Arche community, a community art area where everyone was encouraged to participate in creating a painting, a silent auction; first-class entertainment, and incredible snacks. The day was most successful!
