Merlot Meets Monet, Edmonton

Thank you for attending Merlot Meets Monet!

Merlot Meets Monet is a signature event of the Alberta Diabetes Foundation (ADF), happening on Thursday, May 25th 2023 in the lobby of the Li Ka Shing Centre on the University of Alberta campus. Merlot Meets Monet is a wine-tasting and art auction that supports life-saving diabetes research happening right here in Alberta. Guests have the opportunity to bid on a selection of art pieces generously donated by local artists and galleries, and even meet some of the artists.

While enjoying hand-curated wines, guests learn about some of Alberta's most innovative diabetes research. ADF Ambassadors share their stories about how their daily life is built around managing their disease. It’s an evening of great food, delicious wines, beautiful art, and stimulating conversation. All in support of ADF’s vision of a world without diabetes.

Although insulin saves lives, it is not a cure. We believe a cure is possible and the only way to get there is to support research.

The art donations will be featured in a silent auction, and all proceeds will go to support research. 

You CAN make a difference in the search for a cure just by taking home something beautiful for your home.

If you are or know an art aficionado, this is a great opportunity to acquire some new pieces, all while helping to support diabetes research. Space is limited.
