Gary Payton, nicknamed “The Glove” for his legendary defensive skills, is hosting a meet-and-greet event with fans at the Richmond Best Buy store this weekend.
He will be joined by mixed-media designer Will Selviz, who will be doing a live digital design session on-site. The event takes place on Saturday, March 18th at the Lansdowne’s Best Buy store from 2pm to 3pm.
“This NBA Creators presented by Microsoft Surface event is your opportunity to see the magic in combining basketball and digital art,” states Best Buy.

In addition to meeting Gary Payton and Will Selviz, visitors to the Best Buy Richmond store on that day will also be treated to an in-store only offer to buy a Surface Pro 9 and get a Pro Signature keyboard.
Best Buy says that the goal of this event is to support and elevate Canadian artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic or Latinx (BIPOC).
