Location of event The Imperial (319 Main St. Vancouver)
In the House Productions is proud to present the Lookout Society’s annual gala fundraiser, H’Arts for the Homeless, an event inspired by those helped and supported by the Lookout Society.
Through circus, music, stories, dance and art, the gala will highlight the deep sense of relief and hope that a stable, safe home provides. H’Arts celebrates the joys, successes, untold strengths and stories of the residents, as well as the front-line workers who live and work at Lookout.
In the heart of Vancouver’s inner city lies The Imperial (formerly known as District 319), where this year’s Gala will be held on Thursday, October 3, from 6 – 9:30pm. The gala is our way of kicking off Homeless Action Week in a fun and memorable way.
Experience art installations telling the story of homelessness, delicious food, fantastic performers, live visual artists, a silent auction and, of course, the live auction with comedian David C. Jones as our auctioneer.
We are raising funds for the essential services and support necessary to bring solutions to homelessness in Greater Vancouver.
About Lookout Society
In 1971, a small group of caring people responded to homeless adults dying in the streets and asking for help. Their response was to reach out to these adults and offer beds and access to services to get people out of the crisis.
Today, Lookout has 19 buildings where we care for destitute and homeless adults and assist them as they transition out of homelessness.
Since its inception, our Supportive Housing has been 100% full, with minimal turnover and 2,222 people on a wait list.
