Collectors will be able to snap up a stunning array of artwork, while also helping rescued horses and donkeys, when Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s annual art sale returns on Friday 7th April at their Aylsham Visitor Centre in North Norfolk.
Redwings Aylsham, north of Norwich, will be opening its doors again for art enthusiasts and Sanctuary supporters to browse and buy pieces from a wide collection of donated artwork. And best of all, entry to the visitor centre and art sale is completely free.
From classically framed works depicting traditional countryside scenes, to modern colourful pieces and wonderful photographs by amateurs and professionals alike on an eclectic range of subjects, there’s something for everyone at this year’s event.
Prices of artwork will range from £5 to £95 so there will also be something to suit every budget, plus every penny raised from the art sale will go directly towards the care of Redwings’ 1,500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.
Redwings is hoping to raise as much as possible from the art sale to help feed and care for the 56 residents at Redwings Aylsham, as well as the other 1,500 horses and donkeys that the charity cares for each and every day. Indeed, while attending the art sale, visitors find out more about Redwings’ work to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses and donkeys in need, as well as meet the residents that the money raised from the art sale will help support.
Anne Galloway, Redwings’ Gifts in Kind Manager said, “We’re delighted to be bringing back our annual art sale with another beautiful collection of donated artwork. Thanks to our generous donors and buyers, last year’s sale raised over £700 which is enough money to care for all the residents at Redwings Aylsham for a day. Every penny really can make a difference so we hope as many people as possible will come along and support this year’s sale.”
If you’re a budding artist or photographer, or if you have any pre-loved paintings, sculptures or textiles tucked away, Redwings welcomes further donations of artwork to exhibit and sell at the Aylsham event.
Donated pieces can be accepted up until Friday 24th March. For more information and to donate an item, please contact Anne Galloway by emailing agalloway@redwings.co.uk or calling 01508 481070.
