If you’re looking for a meaningful alternative to the wining and dining this Valentine’s Day weekend, consider stopping by the second annual “Heartbeats for Africa” fundraiser. The event, held in Toronto, is an art show and party that raises money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which funds HIV/AIDS research in Africa. This year, organizers have asked some of the city’s best artists and designers to create original pieces to be put up for auction. The theme was flexible, with the only caveat being that the piece had to reference the color red. Curious to see what everyone came up with? Information on the fundraiser and silent auction is on the flyer below:
