If you are a fan of David’s work, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Artworks below (L to R): Night Figures New York, The Garden Of Eden, Chef.
We also have this amazing painting by Alana Duff titled Australiana (below), which will be raffled on the night. Alana has participated in many of our past exhibitions, she is an award-winning artist including winning the Peoples’ Choice Award at one of our past exhibitions.
We hope you’ll join us and please bring your family, friends and generous spirits. By attending and bidding, you will be supporting our artistic clients, local artists and Footprints Community. 25% from the sale of each piece will go to supporting Footprints … and we need your support, no matter how big or small. Any profits from the night will be used to help support our clients to access housing and live meaningful lives.
Each year, this event provides inclusion, participation and an opportunity for people within the community to come together and enjoy art and culture. The exhibition promotes the creative talents of a diverse range of artists. It provides our clients with an opportunity to showcase and sell their artwork. The experience aims to build our clients self-esteem, confidence and resilience by being involved in a quality community art exhibition setting.
