Arch Window Gallery at Aspire Ryde is turning the gallery space at 35 High Street Ryde blue and yellow to help support the people of Ukraine.
Featuring original art commissioned in blue and yellow the exhibition will include work from Island-wide contemporary artists – and a few beyond our shores – who are each generously donating works for sale.
For art buyers, it’s a chance to snap up some original work by respected artists, at a great price, and with the bonus of knowing that all the money is going to help a desperate situation.
All works will be sold at a flat rate price of just £50 each – with all proceeds going directly to The Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Appeal.
Open every day for sales
Aspire Ryde will be open for sales every day (except Wednesday and Sunday) between 10-12.30 and 1.30-4pm.
The exhibition @arch_windowgallery is illuminated and can be seen continuously 24 hours between 4th to 30th May.
Contemporary artists have been showing here at ARCH Window Gallery since the beginning of December 2019, in a regular programme of curated exhibitions.
