Art Exhibition Success
Friday, 26th September 2008
Despite the weather and the uncertain economic climate, our second Art Exhibitrion North Yorkshire - artexny 08 - held at Castle Howard on 6 and 7 September - was a huge success.
artexny 08 was a showcase for artists currently living and working here or those who were born and bred here and have carved a successful career in the visual arts elsewhere. The diversity of style and media represented by the 33 artists taking part was astonishing and artwoirks ranging in price from £25 to almost £3000 were sold over the two days of the exhibition.
The artists taking part kindly donated a generous proportion of the proceeds of their sales to York Against Cancer. This, along with the support of sponsors and advertisers, ensured that we reached an impressive total of just under £11,000.
We are also grateful to artists Jill FGoerd, Diane Thornton and Linda Wormald for donating artworks for the raflle and promotional purposes.
