The staff at Modern Fuel would also like to extend a big thanks to past Board members Rebecca Anweiler and Gary Kibbins for their many years of service to the gallery.

Sunday, December 9, 2007, marked Modern Fuel's 25th Annual Art Auction - a fundraiser in support of the gallery.

We would like to acknowledge the hard work of all our volunteers including the fantastic ambient folk collective the Gertrudes, our exciting auctioneer Sandra Jass, our wonderfully charming MCs, and of course the artists who so generously submitted their work.
