THANK YOU to everyone who made Viva Brazil 2015 a Huge Success!
On September 25, Edmonton's cultural community gathered in the Art Gallery of Alberta to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Brazilian culture in Edmonton. It was a Sold-Out event and packed with energy and excitement! Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson opened the evening celebrations with remarks on the value and importance of a thriving multicultural community here in Edmonton. We were beyond delighted to feature the work of both Brazilian-born artists and non-Brazilian artists passionate about Brazilian cultural expressions!
Tyler Baker Photography was on site to document the excitement among our featured artists and guests throughout the evening. Check out the photos below!
