Contemporary Art in Cranbrook and the Weald

Charity Auction in Aid of the children of Haiti

        Charity Auction in Aid of the children of Haiti The Lots

The idea of Kate Crook (a well known local artist herself) and supported  by

Kristina Avery, this event is organised to raise money for the Save the Children

Haiti appeal.  Over 80 valuable artworks were generously donated by respected

local artists and all proceeds used by Save the Children for the benefit of the child

victims of the Haiti earthquake.  The auction was held on Saturday 13th March and

raised a magnificent £13,840.  Details of the lots can be seen by visiting the Lots

page where the winning bids prices will be added soon for selected pieces.

Kate Crook and Kristina Avery send their heartfelt thanks to: the artists who

donated the wonderful artworks; to Raj Bisram for being our charismatic

auctioneer; to those amongst you who bid for and bought the artworks; to Corinne

Corbet-Thompson & Gilli Fryzer and their team of helpers for organising the

delicious tea and cakes; to Lindi Harman, Ruth Saunders and their Save The

Children helpers; to Cranbrook & Sissinghurst Parish Council, Wealden Times,

Stationery Express and Page's Newsagents for their generous support. Thank you

to all of you for helping to make a difference to the children of Haiti through Save

the Children.
