Vision Matters @ Gravelly Barn
First of all, we hope that you and yours are all well - a year on from the first lockdown. May we soon return to some sort of normality.
As you know we had to postpone last year’s Vision Matters charity exhibition at Gravelly Barn because of the Covid restrictions.Thank you for your support and continued enthusiasm. We had hoped to hold the exhibition some time this year to showcase all the wonderful work we know many of you have already completed. We have a selection of completed work already, which are stored safely in our studio, waiting to be hung and sold.
Sadly, we have had to take the difficult decision to postpone again as there is currently so much uncertainty over future regulations and restrictions. We know that many of you will be as disappointed as we are, but we have to put first the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
At present we are looking at a date for May 2022. All dates, times, safety procedures and precautions will be confirmed.
All the money raised so far from the sale of canvases is ring-fenced in our charity account, and a decision has been made to give an initial cheque to each charity, with a final cheque after the actual exhibition. The charities are The Epping Breast Care Unit - for specific use for the mobile screening unit, BLISS and SANDS neonatal charities.
So please keep working on those canvases. We can’t wait to see them hung at the exhibition, as well as welcoming lots of visitors.
If you would like to purchase any more canvases, or know anyone who would like to take part, we still have some available at £10 each. Contact Jane ([email protected]) or Glynnis ([email protected]) for further information.
Keep well and keep in touch
Warm regards, the Gravelly Barn team
