Result of our Charity Auction
By: James Glen
Added: 03 June 2022
Friday night 27th May was auction night at Bovey Paradiso!
What a fantastic evening it was. The proceedings were opened by the Bovey Tracey Mayor, Cllr. Sheila Brooke and hosted, with no little flair, by Paradiso Director, David McGahey (pictured).
In total 24 works of art created by 17 artists went under the hammer and raised an impressive £1,748 from 16 sales!
The proceeds will be split equally between three local good causes: Heathfield Revival Youth Club; Bovey Tracey Community Fridge; and Bovey Paradiso itself.
We'd like to thank Paradiso staff and volunteers, everyone who attended, our generous buyers and, of course, our talented artists for their munificent artwork donations!
The pieces up for auction were donated by: Jon Arnold, Rod Ashman, Clare Benson, Sebastian Coell, Ian Cox, Lin Cudlipp, Jeremy Diggle, Mark Jessett, Chris Marsham, Steve McCracken, Sarah Morris, Jenny Pery, Mark Richards, Rosie Sanders, Richard Thorn and Kevin Wright.
