Bristol Festival Art Auction, Goldbrick House, Tuesday 18th August 2009. Viewing 7pm - 9pm, Auction Starts 9pm. As part of their on-going effort to support local artistic talent, the BFCG are running an art auction in association with Goldbrick House, on Tuesday August 18th 2009 to raise money for this year’s festival and to support local artists. With a mixture of established fine artists and stars of the future there will be over 40 lots to bid on with the main auction starting at 9pm. 50% of the profit generated will be donated to the Bristol Festival 2009 Art Fund. Artists include Hannah Davies, Deenagh Miller, Greg Tricker, Andrew Hood, Cheba and Acer. This event is part of the BFCG’s wider commitment to art development in the City which includes a recent art competition with over 2000 pupils from local schools invited to take part. The competition asked for pupils to draw or paint a picture that represents what Bristol means to them. The winners and runner-ups will be announced on September 14th, a week before Bristol Festival 2009 and will have their art exhibited at the festival plus two adult tickets for the parents. Children under twelve are free at the event, when accompanied by an adult. Even the latest Bristol Festival 2009 poster is designed by brilliant local artist Andy Council featuring Bristol music scene venues. A true snapshot of Bristol’s independent musical scene, limited edition screen prints will soon be available from www.thebristolfestival.org. All in all, thanks to the hard work from everyone involved, it looks like the Bristol Festival 2009 is shaping up to be a beauty! |
