Art Auction - Thelma Hulbert Gallery

A new date has been confirmed for an East Devon Art Auction which was cancelled due to the snow in early March. The new date for the auction is Friday 8 June at 7pm with a reception from 6pm in the main gallery at THG. An exhibition of the donated artworks will be held from the 26 May - 8 June.

Art Auction to help fund Admiral Nurse

56 artists have generously donated artworks for a fundraising art auction hosted by Thelma Hulbert Gallery (THG) in Honiton, Devon.

Many well-known names are among the donors including internationally reputed sculptor Peter Randall-Page RA, Dorset-based artist Frances Hatch, Cornish artist Jessica Cooper and our auction patron the renowned artist, Alan Cotton.

THG has joined forces with Honiton's Dementia Action Alliance to raise funds through the auction for Honiton's Admiral Nurse campaign and the THG Learning Programme supporting those with dementia and mental health issues.

Honiton's Dementia Action Alliance has identified a real need for expert care and support at home for people living with dementia. They are fundraising towards a target of £150K to fund their own Specialist Dementia Nurse in Honiton. Known as Admiral Nurses, these highly qualified practitioners are provided and supported by the charity Dementia UK.  They work together with families offering one-to-one support and expert guidance from diagnosis to post bereavement.

THG was one of the first galleries in the county to become dementia friendly. Their award-winning learning programme benefits all the community. The funds raised will especially help their work with adults living with Dementia and their carers, as well as young people and adults with mental health issues.

The artworks are on display at THG in the run up to the auction. Bids can be placed at the gallery prior to the auction or on-line at www.fundraising.bid/artauction2018.

The art auction itself will take place on Friday 2 March at 7pm, led by expert auctioneers Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood.

Art Auction: Friday 2 March, 7pm (reception from 6pm) in aid of Honiton's Admiral Nurse campaign and the THG Learning Programme supporting those with dementia.
