On Thursday 13th of March at 7pm there will be a charity Auction in Expose Yourself Gallery in aid of the Peter Bradley Foundation. Artists and crafts people from all over Ireland have donated over 40 pieces of their work to be put under the hammer in Dunlaoghaire Shopping Centre.
Once we decided on the Peter Bradley Foundation, looking after people with acquired brain injuries, as our chosen charity we were amazed at how many people knew and used their services already.
The pieces are from Artists such as Bob McCabe, Nick Fegen, Ellen McDermott, Colette Murphy, Jack Kelly, Annette McDermott, Sandra Richardson to name a few. Photography from Daragh Muldowney – Dulta Photography, Patrick Naughton and AnneLouise McDermott. Exquisite jewellery is donated by Suzie Sullivan, Derryaun Crafts, Karen Harper, and Imelda Bagnall. Tiffany Hand-Cut Lamp by Siobhan Campbell, and a remarkable ship in Copper by Martin Raeside that has the Peter Bradley Foundation emblem on the sail. There are many other beautiful hand-made crafts in all sectors of the craft industry showing how modern, talented and generous Irish Crafts people are.
The auctioneer on the night will be Matt Dunne, Laois Auctioneer, that has offered his services for the night and there will be a wine reception in Lime Bar, Dunlaoire Shopping Centre after all the Artwork has been claimed.
The Auction is open to the public and to add a little spice to life there are two mystery prizes auctioned at the end! Guaranteed to have something for everyone, the ranges of items are on exhibition in the Gallery, LEVEL 3 Dunlaoghaire Shopping Centre if you fancy putting on an early bid today!
