Here’s Nina Drive-In

Here’s Nina

DRIVE-IN SPECTACULAR

Our annual awards gala and fundraiser looked a little different this year…

Every year the Nina acknowledges the accomplishments of five artists from our collective with awards at Here’s Nina, a red carpet awards show and fundraiser for over 300 guests. With COVID-19 restricting in-person gatherings, we had to get creative with the format of this year’s event. The solution? A drive-in spectacular at the River Cree Resort & Casino.

From the socially-distanced safety of their cars, guests celebrated the achievements of the award-winning artists, enjoyed live entertainment, and raised valuable funding for the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts.

This event would not be possible without the support of a network of generous individuals and organizations. The Nina thanks every guest, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter for making this such a special evening each year.

We don’t know what Here’s Nina will look like in 2021, but we hope to see you there!
