the Auction

The Stadtländer Experience

Michael Stadtländer is recognized as one of the world’s top chefs. But how does he do it? How is every dish so utterly fabulous? The answer my friend can be found through this amazing, one of a kind auction item.

Join Michael in his kitchen and assist him as he prepares delectable dishes for the evening’s restaurant goers. You’ll get an inside look at how a Master Chef works in the kitchen and spend time with one of the world’s best. Then you’ll have the chance to sit back and relax as three friends join you in enjoying the dinner you helped prepare at Michael’s new Haisai restaurant. Who knows, perhaps after your experience with Michael, you’ll be able to duplicate of few of his dishes to serve in the comfort of your own home.

A Burtynsky Photograph

His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes are included in the collections of over fifty major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Bibliotèque Nationale in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Earth Day Canada is thrilled to offer you the opportunity to own a signed Edward Burtynsky print. Shipyard #13, a striking image taken in Qili Port, Zhejiang Province, China in 2005 (pictured above), is your chance to bring home the work of a Canadian icon.

A Rod Prouse original

Clouds over Butt Lake, Algonquin Acrylic on Birch panel 18" x 36"

For over 30 years, Rod Prouse has been at the forefront of the Canadian art scene. From hosting solo exhibits at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and MacLaren Art Centre to inspiring students to create their own unique projects in every medium imaginable — Rod has simply done it all.

EDC is thrilled that Rod has generously created an original work, Clouds over Butt Lake, Algonquin, especially for the EDC Gala auction. This Prouse original combines years of field study work, printmaking technique and studio experimentation, along with Prouse’s interest in Design, namely Memphis, Deconstructavist and 60’s Psychedelia aesthetics, to create a contemporary take on the traditional landscape genre.
