Like many arts organisations, Black Swan Arts in Frome has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. The charity is calling on local artists to give them a helping hand in fundraising.
They say, “We are a registered charity and currently receive no regular funding. We have very limited funds and rely heavily on volunteers and supporters.
“To ensure that we have the resources to continue supporting the arts in Somerset, as we have for the past 30 years, we are asking our loyal and talented artists and friends to donate artwork to our fundraising show ‘Small and Affordable’.
“We welcome work in any medium, 2D or 3D. Pieces should be no larger than 30 x 30 x 30 cm and have a recommended selling price of £300 or less. The work is intended to be affordable in recognition of the fact that many of us are struggling financially.
“Please consider donating some artwork to this important cause. Without your help, Black Swan Arts may not survive. The deadline for online submissions is Monday 30 November.
“For more information visit: www.blackswanarts.org.uk. Please revisit our website when the exhibition opens in December to find out how to view the artwork and make your own Small & Affordable purchase.
