One of the great things that happened last week, is that we proudly hosted a very special art fundraiser for Adsum House, called Mystery Art. With over 87 works donated by generous artists and a sold out show from supporters and volunteers, Adsum House was able to raise much needed funds so that they can continue their important work to provide safe homes and positive opportunities for women and children in need within our community.
Gallery artist Megan LeForte wanted to help out too, and continue the giving back to Adsum House, with an original work of art this week. So from now until end of day Saturday, April 8th, the work featured below will be up for SILENT AUCTION. This painting is an homage to Nova Scotia folk artist Maud Lewis, with a modern twist of feminine empowerment with pussy hats. Purrrrrrrrfect timing as the upcoming film "Maudie" will be in Canadian theatres on April 14th. This would be a great gift to yourself and Adsum House. ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO ADSUM HOUSE. We're starting the bidding at $100. We will update the total of the auction each day below the painting on this blog page. Check back often. To bid, simply email us at gallery@argylefa.com or call us at 902-425-9456.
