Exhibition and silent auction to support the Hospice

Suzanne shares news of this upcoming exhibition which will support the Hospice. Ed


For one of their September exhibitions People’s Gallery based in Union Street, Ryde is supporting The Earl Mountbatten Hospice with a unique show and silent auction.

‘Art Cares’, 20th – 25th September, will showcase original work from a dozen or so artists.

Each artist exhibiting their original work will be donating one original piece of work in any form for the auction, in which the public will be invited to make sealed bids.

All the proceeds will go the Hospice.

For members of the public this is an ideal way to support the Hospice with the bonus of owning an original piece of work from an Island artist.

Individual spaces
Each artist will have an area of about two metres square. Some of them will be showing several pieces, depending on the size. Donated pieces, for the silent auction, will not necessarily be framed, but will be well presented.

Well known artists with work on show will include Becky Samuelson, Loren Brooks, and Isobel Evans.

At the end of the exhibition the sealed envelopes will be opened to see who has made the highest bid and those members of the public who have been successful will be able to collect their chosen piece of work from the gallery.
