The LRDG has had many successes in the last two years and we are looking to expand our involvement with the community through art. We are hosting “A Love-Skate Relationship,” an art auction and concert to be held at the Owl Acoustic Lounge on Saturday, August 18th.

Your donation keeps roller derby thriving in Lethbridge by helping the LRDG provide practice venues, host events and upgrade equipment for one of North America’s fastest growing sports!

What’s in it for you?

  • You are invited to donate an original work of art on the themes of love, skating, or love of skating.
  • In exchange for each donation you’ll receive a free admission to the “A Love-Skate Relationship” event, where you can enjoy great company and great live music
  • You will also receive one free ticket for an upcoming roller derby bout in Lethbridge.
  • By donating your artwork, you have the opportunity to promote your work and mingle with the local art and roller derby community. There will be a table where you can place promo materials (i.e. business cards) and your donation will be acknowledged on our website and in a poster at the fundraiser.

How to donate your artwork.

Here’s what you need to know about submitting artwork for the fundraiser:

  1. Work must be original and preferably created for the event.
  2. If producing a sculpture, please nothing larger than can be displayed on a table top.
  3. Work should be framed and/or ready for installation and have your name on the back.
  4. Provide a short bio to be included on our website.
  5. Work must be delivered before or on July 27th. We will not be able to accept donations after this date.
