The Second Chance Art Sale was a fundraising sale of used art run by the Rotary Club of Calgary Heritage Park on April 14, 2018.
 
During February & March this year we asked Calgarians to donate pieces of wall art that they no longer needed.  We were very fortunate to have LaZboy and Digital Post stores as partners.  They allowed their stores to be donation collection sites.  
 
When we opened the doors on Saturday, April 14 we had 1400+ pieces for sale.  The art was priced very affordably. There were a handful of special items with a $200 - $300 price tag but most pieces were under $50.  
 
We were delighted to be well supported by local Rotary clubs.  Many Rotarians scoured their attics and basements for pieces to contribute and we thank them for doing that.
 
We haven’t crunched the final numbers yet but we exceeded the sales goal we set ourselves.  The SCAS committee is hopeful that RCCHP will make this an annual event.
