Creativity with a Cause – Artopia Donates $4,500 to POWER UP Richmond Health Care

Long-time supporters, Vancouver Artopia Youth Society, recently hosted their 8th Artopia International Youth Art Contest—an inspiring art showcase and auction that celebrates youth creativity while supporting health care in Richmond. More than a hundred young artists participated, with 85 pieces of artwork exhibited at the event. To help bring advanced equipment and technology to health care in Richmond, a portion of the event’s registration fees and auction proceeds were donated to the POWER UP Campaign. Vancouver Artopia Youth Society shows up for the community by contributing towards access to leading-edge health care advancements which will enable health care professionals in Richmond provide faster, safer, and better patient care.
