Collab West is an event featuring the work of three handpicked  creatives, brought together to collaborate, create, and support a mutually chosen charitable cause.

This year’s collaborators—Keith Stride, Chairman Ting, and The Team behind Reduxwood West  join forces to create three unique pieces presented in an exclusive silent auction with 100% of proceeds going to HeadsUpGuys, a program of the University of British Columbia  and the global leader in men’s mental health support.

Rooted in Western Canada, CollabWest is a one-of-a-kind collaboration. The participants may be painters, designers, tech innovators, musicians, fashion labels, photographers—or something entirely unexpected. Each trio is hand-picked for their distinct voices and bold visions. The mix is always new. The outcome is never predictable.

At the end of the creative process, three pieces are unveiled at an exclusive annual party, where the guest list is curated by the participants themselves. Each of the three collaborative pieces is auctioned off with 100% of proceeds going to a charity chosen jointly by the artists.

The event is proudly supported by forward-thinking corporate sponsors, who cover all event costs—ensuring every dollar raised goes straight to the cause.

No year is the same. But the spirit of collaboration, community and giving never changes.

Three Approaches.

Three Perspectives.
