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.
The auctioneer will be that well-known Master of Ceremonies
and former Director of the Arts Centre
Martin Vander Weyer.
Our Arts Centre has flourished over all these years because of the fantastic enthusiasm or Friends, volunteers and regular audience members, and we hope you will support this special and sociable event in the best of causes.
Admission will be by catalogue - one per person - now available . You can buy them in the usual way at the Box Office, by telephone or online but will receive a catalogue instead of a ticket, also to be collected in the usual way.
The catalogue also entitles you to canapes and your first drink at the social gathering at 7.30pm before the auction itself starts at 8.00pm.
£5 admission by catalogue (includes canapes and first drink)
