A Grand Auction Of Art Work


Friday 26 February 7.30pm

Ever since the Arts Centre reopened in 2001 - after the fire the previous year - we have been collecting works of art, donated by artists who have exhibited in the foyer and the Studio Bar, with the intention of auctioning them in due course to raise additional funds. We now have some 40 paintings and drawings in hand, many by well-known local artists - and we also have pressing demands to fund improvements to the Arts Centre's facilities and equipment.

So the long awaited auction will be held in the Arts Centre on Friday 26 February from 7.30pm.

Artists include Sir David Goodall, Jim Wright, June Emerson, Anne Lang, Bridget Gillespie and many more.

Admission will be by catalogue - one per person - now available. You can buy them at the Box Office, by telephone or online but will receive a catalogue instead of a ticket.

The catalogue also entitles you to canapés and your first drink at the social
gathering at 7.30pm before the auction itself starts at 8.00pm.

Auctioneer: the former Director of Helmsley Arts Centre, Martin Vander Weyer

Tel: 01439 771700

£5 admittance by brochure (includes canapés and first drink) .
