Sweet 16 - June 22, 2002

Something very special is coming to Beautiful House - 16 (or more) of Vancouver's finest independent female musical performers back-to-back in one amazing foray at our sixteenth special event on Saturday, June 22, 2002... It's gunna be sweet!

Help The Fight Against Breast Cancer:

A portion of net proceeds will be donated to promote Nite Of Hope - a fundraising charity for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The Nite of Hope is an elegant fashion show and dinner at the Radisson Hotel in Richmond. Judi Miller, the very dedicated organizer of this prestigious event, was awarded with the Community Achievement Award in 2000. In its third year, this gala event raised an impressive $45,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Beautiful House is pleased to announce that the following independent female musical performers are tentatively confirmed to perform at Sweet 16 this June.

We have had an unprecedented number of submissions by female musical performers and thank everyone for their interest. As we are having a difficult time narrowing down the talented ladies to only 16, we're scheduling 20 women to perform for the evening. If submissions continue to pour in, this all-female themed indie music event may continue again sometime in the future. Please visit here again in the coming weeks for updates to the lineup!

Opening the evening and accompanying selected artists is Conrad. In alphabetical order (by first name), here is the unrefined and growing lineup for Sweet 16 as of our last update, May 17, 2002:

Marpole Curling Club Lounge

Vancouver, BC

Beautiful House independetly produces special events at the curling club for the general public. Tickets available at the door.

Not far from the "South of Main" (SoMa) area of Vancouver and and close to Langara College, The Marpole Curling Club is one of the latest venues opening their doors for organizations like us to hold live music and art shows. They're located at 8730 Heather at South West Marine Drive (across from Canadian Tire near A&B Sound at Cambie & Marine).

As always, they have a full bar with amazing drink prices (they must be Irish) and our one of a kind Beautiful House cocktails. If you're inclined, there's free curling lessons on Sunday's at noon or you can talk to management about getting a lane for a quick game before the show beings. For directions and info, please call us at 604-720-3040 (please don't call the curling club).

Where in this city can you see such diversity in live music while you mingle with some of the city's most promising emerging talent and participate in or view an evening life/figure drawing session in progress, enjoy spoken word, art exhibits, deep house in another room, cheap beer, cocktails and share an evening with other beautiful people like yourself? It happens for one night every few months only at Beautiful House!
