Charity Exhibition raising money for CLIC Sargent

Silje Marie Kristiansen & Ceri Mai Jones are going to climb Kilimanjaro to raise money for CLIC Sargent, Caring for Children with Cancer. In connection with this, we are hosting an exhibition here in Falmouth to help raise some funds. Lots of people have already donated artwork for the show but we want to invite all creative people interested in donating work to the exhibition!
You donate your work, and if it is sold, the money goes straight to the charity, CLIC Sargent, Caring for Children with Cancer. So you will be helping a great cause with your work!
In return, you get your work promoted for an entire month, at the Here & Now Gallery.
The theme is COLOURS, just because, through your support, we can help make someone’s life more colourful. Sounds a bit cheesy, but this makes you able to do pretty much what you want. Focus on one specific colour, specific pallet, use all colours, bright colours, or whatever you want! Have fun with it!

The exhibition will take place from the 29th September – 31st October. With the private view on 28th September from 6-9pm.

If you would like to donate any work for the show, please can you drop it to the gallery by the 24th September.
