The
exhibition is taking place at Galeria de Arte, Largo Cidade Vitoria, Junta de
Freguesia de Cascais and is free entry. Most notably, there is a large painting
of the inlet at Santa Marta that is up for sale by silent auction to raise
funds for Cercica. Bidding can be done at the gallery or directly with the
Freguesia by email: Ce.galeria@gmail.com.
The eight
artists involved in this project each painted part of the scene individually
and then put it together to create a very interesting and delightful
painting. Each part of the scene has been painted in the individual style
of the artist so this makes it a unique work of art. We also wondered if
some of the local hotels and restaurants might be interested in bidding for the
painting to decorate their premises.
Cercica is
a charity that provides children and young people who have learning difficulties
with education, social interactions and some opportunities for employment, they
also have a residential wing for adults. The charity would like to be able to
buy another mini bus for the adults and children and improve the workshop
facilities.
