10 day fundraiser for GAADA PROJECTS
6th - 16th February 2019
To raise money for @gaada_org I’m selling original artworks for a hugely reduced price for 10 days only!
Gaada is a Community Interest Company that works on printmaking projects in Shetland. We work on art projects that promote equality. So far we have worked with Disability Shetland, gender equality groups, Grays School of Art, Autism Friendly Shetland, Befriending schemes, Bridges, with professional and local artists and one to one with people with complex needs. We believe that anybody can be an artist and everyone deserves to have their voice heard. We also just want Shetland have the facilities that cities have, and for this ‘extreme remote rural’ babe of a place to thrive. When I moved home, there was NO public access printmaking facilities, now we have Riso and Screenprint, and with each project we add to our equipment and grow shetland’s art scene. My aim is to raise £1000 in 10 days to pay for running costs and anything beyond that will help even more and give us peace of mind while we write funding applications over the next month. I wanted to use this opportunity to open up my work to those who maybe can’t afford it when it is six times this price. Art is for everyone!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You guys are just so great. 🎨🤗
Anything raised beyond the £1000 will go towards future projects, help us apply for future funding and secure community workshops in our beautiful former church studio.
SO now is your chance to grab an ORIGINAL work and help raise funds to keep our island community studio going!
You will notice there are 3 payments options for each artwork - its up to you what you pay. I will be doing one mega postoffice run on 20th of Feb with all the sold work BUT if you desperately need the work before them just send me a cheeky message and I'll do what I can.
