Art sale to raise money for Haiti

"The need in Haiti is huge. Current estimates are that there are over a million people who have lost their homes"-ShelterBox Founder and CEO Tom Henderson

In response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Newlyn Society of Artists, Newlyn artists and friends donate works of art for an Art Sale.

Their aim is to raise as much money as possible for the people of Haiti.

The event will be an opportunity to buy art works by established artists straight from the wall.

There will also be a classy clothes bring and buy sale, tea and fine cakes, children's activities and live entertainment.

The wide range of art work on sale will include paintings, prints, photographs, ceramics and cards, at prices to suit every pocket.

Local artists hope to raise as much money as possible for Haiti

All proceeds will go to the Cornish based charity ShelterBox and Save the Children for its existing programme of humanitarian work with children in Haiti (which includes an art programme for orphaned and traumatised children).
