CENTREPIECES ANNUAL AUCTION,
SATURDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2015
Orchard's Shopping Centre, Dartford, from 12.30pm.
This
November sees the 15th Annual Auction of artwork created by artists from
Centrepieces.
The event raises money to help keep the organisation running, with 50% of sales
going to the artists who are members of Centrepieces, all of whom have
experienced mental health problems.
Originally established with a £5,000
Millennium Award from the National Lottery, Centrepieces was for many years
supported by the Crayford Centre, which was part of the local mental health
services. It moved in June 2014 to new premises in the Lodge at Hall Place in
Bexley, financially supported by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Today, Centrepieces consists of around 100
artists, many of whom volunteer to help run the project. Centrepieces became a
Charitable Incorporated Organisation in February 2015 and is currently looking to
fundraise to secure its longer term future.
Centrepieces
exists to promote mental health recovery through the arts, creating
opportunities for people to take part in art activities, and to exhibit and
sell their work; it also tries to promote a better understanding of mental
health in the wider public. With that aim in mind, the charity promotes public
art in the local community, such as ‘The Worrier’ (above) previously sited by the river
Cray in Crayford Town Centre, and the ‘The Nest’ (left) sculpture at Hall Place,
projects which have been led by Centrepieces artists.
This year’s Auction previews from Thursday 12th to the morning
