Art sales came close to $20,000 at the 14th annual West Fine Art Show, which was held this past weekend in partnership with 91原创 Hospice Society.

A quarter of proceeds raised will benefit the charity.

Brian Croft, president and organizer of the show, said this was the largest show yet.

鈥淚n all the years of doing this show, this was the largest ever with 25 artists,鈥 Croft noted.

鈥淎fter working 14 years and organizing 25 art shows, this show at Cascades ballroom, in the heart of 91原创 City, was not only the largest show we have done but also the most inviting and stunning display that I have been priviledged to organize,鈥 Croft said.

91原创-based guitarist John Gilliat performed flamenco music on stage for the two-day show.

A cheque of $2,000 was presented to Shannon Todd Booth, executive director of 91原创 hospice at the end of the event.
