Beverley gallery Creation Fine Arts and artist Nick Matson joined forces to help raise money for Dove House Hospice.
An original drawing and canvas copy of the painting “Love Boat” from the recent Travelling Riverside Hues exhibition were offered as prizes.
The winning tickets for a Mr J Triveley and Mr and Mrs Hedges were drawn.
The raffle contributed £250 to the hospice and Creations owner, Nigel Walker, said “Nick and I are grateful to all who took part and supported this important local cause. We hope to be able to work on behalf of the hospice again in the future to support their invaluable work with people at the end of their lives”.
Becky Baynes of Dove House Hospice said: “Dove House has a yearly running cost of £5.6 million and is funded for the equivalent of just 48 days per year, the funds for the other 317 days we raise through the wonderful support of people like Nick Matson and Creation Fine Arts.”
“Nick has been incredibly generous in donating his beautiful artwork and, as art therapy is an important aspect of the work we do with patients at the hospice, it’s great to be supported by those in the art community. I encourage everyone to pick up a draw ticket at Creation Fine Arts to support our local hospice and possibly win a piece of original art too! Thank you to Nick and Nigel, of Creation Fine Arts, for helping us to provide much needed care to people in Hull and East Yorkshire with life limiting illnesses.”
