It won’t be art for art’s sake in Ammanford next month; it will be art for charity’s sake.
A charity art auction is being held at Saron Hall, Ammanford, on Sunday, April 10, in aid of the Healing The Wounds charity.
The charity helps treat sufferers of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) in Wales.
More than 60 ‘lots’ have already been kindly donated by local artists.
“The response has been amazing,” said Healing The Wounds co-founder and secretary Carol Richards.
“But we are still looking for some more works of art for the auction to raise as much as we possibly can on the day.
“Richard Chinnery is the organiser of the art group in Saron Hall and he has been instrumental in helping to put the event together.
“In addition, we have popular auctioneer John Eirian Davies from BJP in Carmarthen giving his services for free for the day.
“It should be a great day out for lovers of local art. And the local Women’s Institute will be on hand to serve refreshments. Doors open at 12 noon for 2pm start.”
If you are interested in supporting the charity art auction, please contact the organiser, Mr Richard Chinnery on 01269 832110 / 07974821935 or Carol Richards 01656 744880 / 07714622328
The Healing The Wounds charity was set up in January 2010 to help provide PTSD treatment for members of the armed forces and veterans. It aims to set up a Welsh base for the treatment of PTSD. It is already arranging treatment courses and building a team of counsellors who can treat PTSD.
