What can we do as Art Lovers to help?
Silent Art Auction for Japan Relief
We need your help! Please come out and show your support for the victims of Japan!
Recent earthquakes, a tsunami and the ongoing Fukushima nuclear power Plant has
devastated Japan and emotionally scared the millions who live there. The
cleanup and recovery in Japan has only just begun but the country still has a
long way to go before they can move on from these recent events.
They need our help more than ever. If only we could all fly over to bring them
potable water, food and medical supplies, as well as help them with the daunting
cleanup they still face.
Visiting Japan at this time is unrealistic for most of us. This raises the
question: What can we do as Art Lovers to help? One thing we can do from London
is hold a fundraiser. Even a small amount can help those who have lost their
homes, their family members, their friends and their memories. With the support
of London-based artists and Art Lovers we CAN do something.
In response to the crisis taking place in Japan, FOLD Gallery London will be
holding a silent art auction on the 8th April 2011 from 6pm
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the British Red Cross, Japan
Tsunami Appeal: Japan Relief which is helping earthquake and tsunami
victims in Japan. Established and emerging London-based artists have generously
contributed artwork to FOLD Gallery London's art auction. Artists include
Edward Allington, Sarah Pickering and many more.
For one night, you will have the opportunity to bid and take home original
works of art donated by passionate artists! Come out, show your support and
have fun!
Bids will start at £20 (those who just HAVE to have it can "Buy Now!" for £100)
