In response to the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti, the Greater Manchester contemporary fine art community is pooling its resources to stage a one-day exhibition and silent auction to raise money for UNICEF’s Haiti Earthquake Children’s Appeal.
Manchester artist Suzanne Smith is organising the event, with support from the Arts Programme at the University of Salford – the response from the art community has been fantastic. Over 40 contemporary fine artists from Manchester, Salford and further afield are donating artwork – many are also working incredibly hard behind the scenes organising the event. Graphic designers, printers and galleries are waiving their fees, and many arts professionals in the region are graciously (and enthusiastically!) volunteering their expertise.
This support will allow us to donate 100% of any proceeds raised to the charity.
Donated artwork ranges from drawings to video. With reserves from £20 bidders will have the opportunity to own contemporary artwork by established and emerging artists.
Please help us turn hard work and good will into money for the people of Haiti – they desperately need it.
You can help now by making a donation now, or on the day by bidding for artwork.
