Nearly £650 has been raised at an auction of postcard-sized art, in a joint initiative by Blue Fox Gallery and the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
The artworks had been created in celebration of Isle of Wight Day and were later donated to the hospice for display and auction, which took place in the interval of a live music performance by The Alberts, part of the hospice’s regular concert series. In total, 50 of the 84 pieces of art were sold raising an incredible £641 for the care and support of patients and families across the Isle of Wight. The winners of the artwork are being contacted directly by the hospice.
The remaining postcards will now return for display at the Blue Fox Gallery in Cross Street, Ryde, until 26th November, before going on sale as part of the Earl Mountbatten Hospice Christmas Fayre on Sunday 27th November between 10:00 and 16:00.
