For those who enjoy their gardening this news update will be of interest, also to those who are keen to show their artistic side.
Little Bentley Waterways & Gardens
This annual show, which runs from 1st June, is one of the largest annual garden shows in east Anglia, regularly seeing over 8,000 visitors. This year, there is an opportunity for your artwork to help raise funds for a local charitable organization. Austin Hicks explains:
The Rotary Club of Colchester Centurion has been invited to run a fundraiser at The Little Bentley Waterways and Garden Show on the weekend of 1st & 2nd June. We are calling it ‘Art on the Run’ and we are hoping to collect 400 pieces of original Art and, in return for a donation of £10.00, visitors will pick a ticket and be guaranteed a piece of art. Funds raised will be donated to Rotary charities, particularly East Anglian Children’s Hospice (EACH).
We are interpreting the word ‘art’ in its widest sense – paintings or drawings, sculptures, photographs, pottery, wood carvings, embroidery or tapestry, quilting or any other item that can be admired for its creativity. Anything original or limited editions would be much appreciated.
For more information about the Garden Show please go to http://www.littlebentley.net.
We are well on our way to the 400 items but time is getting short. If you feel you can help, please contact [antibot mailto=”[email protected]”]
