JTMF West is a local arts organization, created with the mandate of raising funds for HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ and at-risk youth support services while celebrating the philanthropic spirit of artists. The 2015 event supported HIV Edmonton and Camp fYrefly, and introduced Theatre Network as a beneficiary in response to the tragic fire at The Roxy.

This year’s headliner Del Barber rocked a packed house in The Club at the Citadel and ended his set with 200 new fans in Edmonton. Chloe Albert wowed the crowd and generously donated a house concert that was included in the live auction. The event also featured our first foray into opera with a stunning performance by Teiya Kasahara and end with a full dance floor courtesy of Cornbread.

Edmonton Eskimos President & CEO, Len Rhodes, and long snapper Ryan King were on hand to announce the Eskimos formal endorsement of Camp fYrefly.

The evening featured more than 50 artists between the on-stage talent and participants in the auction. 2015 Artists for Life also featured a reception sponsored by Alley Kat Brewery.
