A GROUP of artists and makers from Ceredigion are putting on a series of art exhibitions to raise money for Bronglais Hospital’s Angharad Children’s Ward.
The creatives from The Bay Gallery in Aberystwyth will be hosting seven artists and makers shows throughout the year, in Cardigan and Aberystwyth, with the first show on March 29.
Organiser and gallery owner Jeni Pain said there would be plenty of chances for the public to donate to the cause, through collection tins at their permanent gallery in the seaside town, as well as at the special events.
She added: “We intend to hold at least one fundraising tombola with prizes donated by our artists. Our Christmas cards will be sold later in the year with a 50% donation.”
Jeni said that, every year, the artists decide on a charity to support for the year ahead and this year they’d chosen the Angharad Children’s ward at Bronglais.
She explained: “This ward is close to our artists’ hearts and we want to support this local service.”
The dates of the shows are as follows:
- Corn Exchange, Cardigan: March29 -April 4
- Bandstand, Aberystwyth: April 3 – 5
- Bandstand, Aberystwyth: May 29 – 31
- Corn Exchange, Cardigan: June 7 -13
