Art event will raise money for Harrogate hospital charity
Local artist Jos Haigh will sell her work at a preview event to raise money for Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity.
The event, at the Cedar Court Hotel in Harrogate on November 27, will showcase Ms Haigh's vibrant wildlife art while also generating funds for the charity.
One hundred percent of the sale prices will go to the charity, which funds specialist equipment, training and services at Harrogate District Hospital outside what the NHS provides.
The charity recently funded colouring and art materials for patients at the hospital during the pandemic.
People who attend the preview event will have the opportunity to meet Ms Haigh, who lives in Harrogate and exhibits all over the country, as well as enjoy mince pies and mulled wine.
Christmas gifts and the charity's newly launched 2021 calendar will also be on sale.
Ms Haigh told the Stray Ferret her works of art had been in a gallery in York for three weeks but lockdown had restricted viewings so she decided to donate them to the charity. She added:
