Arts Canterbury

Alzheimers Canterbury is holding its annual 'Arty Auction' fundraiser this May on Trademe, which features art and autographed literature.   Each year we approach artists, authors, musicians, and jewellers for the event - last year particularly, the event gave us a much-needed morale boost throughout the aftershocks as we opened the packages of lovely things to get them ready for auction.  

We work in the community with people with dementia, and their carers and friends, providing social work support, volunteer programme, education and group support.  We are entirely not-for-profit.  All proceeds from our Arty Auction go towards the Christchurch dementia community.

We are currently looking for donations of art, and are wondering if you would be able to put the word out about it to your artists?  We already have some North Island artists contributing, but I am keen to see some Canterbury work included!  We would be very happy to include your website/artists' websites in the auction details, and promote it on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and in our regular newsletter.

  Our ArtOpportunity II ceramic exhibition at the George over the weekend of 16 to 18 December has come and gone with 15 items sold plus 1 commission and 2 futher items that may be purchased prior to Christmas.
