SMÅ ART – Small Works Exhibition Fundraiser
2020-05-01 19:00 - 2020-05-15 19:00 | ONLINE, United Kingdom, E16 2DQ
When we first started envisioning SMÅ ART, our small works event, it was to be a night meant to be in our beautiful Nordic Hall, bustling with artists and friends. We’d enjoy some wine and treats together and look at an explosion of 8×8 art pieces from artists from across the country. The night would end with a silent auction; guests leaving with a special 8×8 creation that caught not only their eyes, but their heart. Sadly this vision was not destined to happen, but with so many talented and generous artist working on pieces especially for SMÅ ART we knew that we couldn’t let even a global pandemic stop us.
We ask that you grab a glass of wine (or drink of choice) and invite some friends to share in a virtual art show and auction all to support the Scandinavian Cultural Center. 70% of sales will go towards future programming and 30% to the artists. The auction will run for two weeks, Please share with friends.
Bid High.
Bid often.
