Cost-conscious art fans are in for a treat this Saturday (3 October), with nearly 200 postcard-sized original artworks being sold for just £20 each in aid of a local charity.
The MS Therapy Centre was hoping to repeat the hugely successful pop-up art exhibition that it ran last year, but in light of the covid-19 pandemic, they’ve adapted the fundraiser as an online sale of original artwork.
For just £20, buyers can purchase pieces from local, national and international artists who have generously donated their work for the special event.
It’s hoped that the online art sale will raise vital funds for the Bedford-based charity.
“We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of artists who have donated their postcard-sized work to our sale,” said Bela Brown, the art sale’s volunteer coordinator.
“We have 80 artists involved, with over 196 artworks to sell.”
Manager, Tracy Mckenzie, said, “ Our fundraising efforts have all but had to stop this year, meaning that our main source of income has been lost.
“We are doing what we can to support ourselves, with the help of regular donors, but the lack of fundraising activity due to coronavirus has hit us hard.”
Art will be on sale on this Ebay site from noon on Saturday 3 October:
