Request for submissions for the Hidden Garden Gallery 25th Anniversary Fundraiser

2025 is our 25th anniversary! We are planning a show and silent auction to raise funds for the gallery at the end of September. 

Our Theme is anything 25th anniversary and all things Silvery or Gelena. Anything that refers to our beautiful valley and its flora or fauna are welcome too. We are requesting that each piece be 25cm x 25cm or 10″ x 10″ so that there is a continuity within the Silent Auction display. Please send a photo of your piece to roni@ronidesign.com by August 27th so that we can plan the show and have time to set up the online exhibit. Drop off of your donated piece will be at the gallery on Thursday, September 18th between noon and 3 pm. 

If you are interested in joining us and creating a work of art to include in the auction, please email your name, email address and phone number to roni@ronidesign.com.

Thank you for your support!

Bring us your love letters about the gallery, notes of appreciation, memories and memorabilia

We invite you to be part of the celebration, write out memory or appreciation. Do it today. 

You can drop off your notes or memorabilia at the Hidden Garden Gallery throughout the summer.  Or you can send an Email to randycofer@earthlink.net

We ask for nothing to big and too long.

You can also hold on to your special memorabilia and bring it along with you to our Event in September.

It was love at first sight.

“I remember what I was wearing, the taste of the chocolate from the snack table, and the little cup of wine I was served.

Yes, they served wine way back then. The beautiful art and the very cool, big open doors, letting so much light into the barn like structure. I remember a beautiful white haired woman coming up and greeting me, complimenting my dress, welcoming me to the Hidden Garden Gallery, to New Denver. It was the summer of 2018, and what an amazing evening this was. There was a crowd at the Gallery and a special treat around the corner, the Japanese drummers were playing in Bosun Hall. My first taste of a Hidden Garden Gallery reception and the beginning of an enduring loving relationship.

Soon after, my now friend Susan Dunnigan, invited me to join the Board. Here I am, one of many, volunteering for The Hidden Garden Gallery. It has opened my world to beautiful art and the privilege of getting to know interesting people. I am working closely with that beautiful white haired woman, Terry Freeman, and Randy Coffer gathering “Love Letters, notes of appreciations, memories and memorabilia celebrating the Hidden Garden Gallery’s 25th Anniversary.”

By Celebrating 25 years of existence, it is our intent to honour the people, past and present, whom have been a big part of making The Hidden Garden Gallery so special and so loved. We need your help. Please, take a moment and reflect; talk with friends, go through your archives or in my case, boxes filled with this or that. Find those old pictures, posters, anything relating to 25 years of the Hidden Garden Gallery.”

With Love
