BRITISH ARTIST HOLDS CHARITY NIGHT
On 7th March 2008 internationally collected British artist Janine Martin held a highly
successful charity night for Children of Peace at her one-woman show at The Courtyard
Arts Centre in Hereford.
Chairman Richard Martin spoke to the guests of the importance of the charity:
"Given the dreadful events in Gaza and Jerusalem in just the last few days, our work
has never been more important. Children are at the front line of this bitter conflict.
We seek to give them a voice."
Over 240 guests attended the event, including Jesse Norman, Lord Strathclyde, Bishop
Anthony Priddis, Mrs Kathy Priddis, Martin Taylor, Marcelle Lloyd Hayes and Alex
James. The artist donated 10% of sales of work sold that evening. 11 paintings were
sold on the night and a substantial sum was raised in donations towards the charity.
