November 7, 2013 by

Truth & Beauty: Photographs by Ken Villeneuve runs until Dec 7th at Vancouver’s InterUrban Gallery. Calendars featuring Ken’s photos are for avail for $10, proceeds will help Beauty Night meet the growing needs of impoverished women & youth.


Truth & Beauty: Photographs by Ken Villeneuve is on display at Vancouver’s InterUrban Gallery until December 7th. Ken Villeneuve created this collection of photographs over the past five years. The exhibit focuses on Vancouver’s downtown eastside, and on Beauty Night in particular. Ken has also included portraits from Something to Eat, a Place to Sleep, and Someone Who Gives a Damn, his documentary about homelessness.

“Don’t believe all the negative things you read and hear about the DTES, there are pockets of optimism and cheerfulness, and Beauty Night is one of them. This show was inspired by Beauty Night and all of the lovely people that attend,” says Ken.

Ken has generously created Truth & Beauty desk calendars featuring his photos with proceeds going to Beauty Night ($10 at InterUrban Gallery, cash only).

Beauty Night Society is celebrating its 13th year and 36,000th makeover for impoverished women and youth. Funds raised through the sale of Truth & Beauty calendars will help Beauty Night increase the number of makeovers provided each week from 250 to 300. “Currently we have 10 organizations on a wait list who would like us to deliver services to their participants. We are hoping to raise the resources we need to be able to meet the growing need,” says Beauty Night founder Caroline MacGillivray.

‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty’ - that is all ye know on earth, and all you need to know. -John Keats

InterUrban Gallery is located @ 1 East Hastings Street. Ken Villeneuve’s Truth & Beauty exhibit runs Wed to Sat (1pm-5pm) until December 7th, admission is free.
