The Qaumajuq Ball at the Winnipeg Art Gallery returned to the city’s social calendar Saturday night after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the 2020 event. Besides the banquet and guided tours of the galleries, an auction of artworks, WAG-related activities and a Mexican vacation villa were on offer to both gala visitors and online bidders. Funds raised support youth programs at the WAG.
