Artists in Bloom raised just shy of $12,000

May 1st, 2025

The 27th annual Artists in Bloom was a successful evening with more than 100 guests and a grand total of $11,817 raised for the Dawson College Mental Health Fund and the vernissages of two of our programs, Illustration and Visual Arts.

Thirty student artists from Illustration and Visual Arts painted for two hours while those in attendance enjoyed seeing art being created, listening to live music, and visiting with guests and colleagues. All attendees were amazed by the talent of the student artists and what they were able to do in a mere two hours.

The auction, guided by The Beat’s Donna Saker and Dawson’s Geoff Kloos, featured some great back-and-forth bidding wars. All in attendance contributed to a great atmosphere.

This would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, student and staff volunteers and especially our incredibly talented student artists and supportive attendees. A special thank you to the organizing committee: Neal Armstrong, Amanda Beattie, Kiana Kisiel, Michelle Lee and Carey-Ann Pawsey.

Third-year Social Service students are organizing a fundraiser for refugee families. In their Community Intervention class, students were tasked with coming up with a group project to help a population in the community.

“They decided to improve awareness of realities, break down barriers for social services and increase community togetherness for people seeking asylum,” says proud teacher Rachel Deutsch. “As part of this goal, they are fundraising. Please join us for an evening of music, togetherness and social justice for a good cause!”

Students are working to support the Refugee Centre. They are raising funds to purchase essential supplies for refugee families, including items like diapers and sanitary products.
