Money raised for Rough Edges

Volunteer organisers - Tamara, Grace and me at the opening

We sold 9 pieces through the show and raffled one at the closing. All the artists have been paid and buyers have taken their artwork.

Everyone who worked on organising the show (Grace, Tamara, Kristy amd me) did so as a volunteer. From commissions and the raffle we raised about $340 in total of which $110 was spent on expenses(mostly catering for the opening and closing, and a bit for supplementary lighting)

$230 has been given to Rough Edges to support its services. It has been set aside for materials for the art table. Thanks to Grace for managing the books and money

Closing Party and Fundraiser

Last night we had a party for the closing of the Rough Art Show, and to raise a few dollars to help support Rough Edges. We held a raffle after some poetry and music, and made a couple more sales. We'll announce how much we made for Rough Edges in the next few days

Thanks to everyone who performed, Sabrina Showell and Torquemada Poet for their poetry, Andy Biggs, Mariana, and Donna Cain sang accompanied by Stephen Corry's clarinet and Torq on guitar. Apologies to anyone I've forgotten to list.

Thanks also to everyone who helped last night and through the show, especially Grace Woods and Tamara Muzikants for their great work finding and organising the artists, and generally organising the exhibition.

Thanks also to Kristy for her work on the show, and last night, to Stephen Corry for wiring up the place and assisting with hanging, to Sabrina for lending her PA, to Skater Dave for helping put together the food, and to Penny, Wayne and the Rough Edges community
