The Capture Photography festival is in the works, hitting Vancouver full-swing with a knock-out line-up of photo shows, events, and workshops during the whole month of April. But for now, you can support the festival–and help make is even more amazing–by attending their fancy-pants Capture Photography Festival Annual Fundraiser.

For those who love all things miniature (as much as we do), Capture’s Annual Fundraiser marks the launch of ‘Mini” Artist Editions, while being hosted at the MINI Canada dealership in Yaletown. Along with the chance to go home with a mini photo series, you could also have yourself immortalized in mini-bust form by  local 3D-printing company Tinkerine.

The Tinkerine team will be onsite capturing scans and printing complimentary miniature 3D busts of each attendee. In addition to cocktails and canapés, guests will graze on food and wine from Gotham Steakhouse and premium wines, and have the opportunity to speak with Capture’s participating artists and galleries.

Funds raised go towards Capture’s programming and installations, including major works at the Dal Grauer Substation, Lonsdale Quay, and other public spaces. Tickets for the Annual Fundraiser are on sale now through Eventbrite. Though the ticket prices may not be “mini”, we still think this event is going to be an amazing boost for the photo community in Vancouver.
