This weekend at Williams Art!
The 35 or so artist members of the Cambridge Arts Movement, based at the Williams Art Gallery at Dales Brewery, Gwydir Street, are each donating a piece of artwork to be auctioned for the Haiti Disaster Appeal. Many well-known and successful artists will be represented, a list of these can be seen at www.williamsart.co.uk
The show will be mounted this Friday and will be available for public viewing and the taking of fixed bids until this Sunday the 24th. The auction will take place at 3pm on Sunday, so come along and get a genuine Cambridge original at a knock-down price.
