LOCAL and national artists have contributed over 600 pieces of work for a charity auction to raise money for Musgrove Park Hospital’s Art for Life programme.
Called Art on the Block, the auction takes place on Tuesday, May 24 from 6pm at the hospital’s Beacon Centre, which provides cancer treatment to people living in Somerset and the surrounding area.
Musgrove's Art for Life programme supports the creation of high quality interior and exterior spaces within the hospital, achieving a calm environment for patients, visitors and staff.
Lisa Harty, art and design coordinator for Art for Life, said: “I’d like to encourage as many people as possible to visit the website to view the magnificent art created by talented local, regional and national artists."
Tickets to attend the auction cost £8 and include canapes and drinks. They are on sale at Musgrove’s general office, via email: artforlife@tst.nhs.uk or telephone 01823 342 488.
