CollabWest ’25: Creative Energy for a Cause with Keith Stride, Chairman Ting & Reduxwood West

When craftsmanship, colour, and conscience collide, something remarkable happens. On October 18, CollabWest ’25 will bring together three Vancouver powerhouses—Keith Stride, Chairman Ting, and Reduxwood West—for an evening that celebrates collaboration and men’s mental health.

The concept is simple but potent: three artists, three unique creations, one shared purpose. Each collaboration will be auctioned off, with 100% of proceeds benefiting HeadsUpGuys, a University of British Columbia program supporting men in overcoming depression and anxiety.

Art Meets Impact

Hosted inside Reduxwood West’s North Vancouver studio, the event will transform the artisan woodworking space into a full-sensory gallery experience. Guests will sip welcome cocktails from The Woods Spirit Co., explore handcrafted exotic-wood furniture, and even personalize a one-of-a-kind charcuterie board with live laser engraving—all profits going to charity.

Meanwhile, Chairman Ting, known for collaborations with Nike, Porsche, and Lululemon, will take creativity live with a digital graffiti wall, inviting guests to co-create in real time. Across the room, Stride’s pop nostalgia pieces will draw viewers into the emotional layers of memory and identity, pairing perfectly with Reduxwood’s craftsmanship in texture and form.

Building Brotherhood

Beyond the art and atmosphere, CollabWest exists to shift a conversation. Men’s mental health remains one of society’s quietest crises. HeadsUpGuys provides tools, resources, and real stories to help men step forward and find strength through community.

For the team behind CollabWest, creativity is more than an outlet—it is a bridge. “Collaboration gives us space to be human again,” Stride shares. “When we create together, we heal together.”
