Linwood House is a hive of activity as we prepare for our 5th Annual Linwood House Art Experience, being held on Sunday, August 21, 2011 amid the beautiful gardens surrounding the House.
The Art Experience is an exceptionally important fundraiser for LHM and last year raised more than $10,000 - and that on a very wet Sunday!
We have again been overwhelmed by the generosity of the Sunshine Coast's art community who will display their work and contribute 30% of their sales to LHM. This year those participating are painters Doris Biddle, Ed Cleave, Liz Debeer, Kim and Carol LaFave, Yzabelle Delisle Milton, Donna Swain, Diana Starbuck, Doug Rae, Ann Willsie, and Dru Vaughn; potters Darcy Margesson, Jack Ploesser, and Jose Ventura; jeweller Nancy Gatland; stained glass artist Susan Furze; wood-turner Robert Milton; photographer Marina Crawford; and stone carvers Jesse Whitford and Ian Hooley. This year we are also thrilled that Ron Steven will work with some of our friends from the Downtown Eastside at The Journey, in the days prior to the Art Experience.
The number of visitors last year was considerable - around 400-500 people. The enormous tent on the back lawn which sheltered the 15 artists from the continual downpour was abuzz with activity. Volunteers worked hard in all areas to make the day a success and the kitchen was a continual food and beverage production line!
This year we are once again preparing to host the many visitors who will be welcomed by a large team of volunteers, as well as those wonderful, giving people who we have to thank for the extistence of this pool of serenity, spirituality and love that is Linwood House. We are expecting a brilliant and sunny day for this event!
