St Mary’s Calne artists have supported the latest Erlestoke Prison (Wiltshire) fundraising initiative to create sporting facilities at the site by contributing original artworks for cARTes postales ‘Art on Postcards’, alongside works by professional Artists, which include that of Antony Gormley.
The pieces will be auctioned and the proceeds will go towards this worthwhile cause.
An amazing array of leading and local artists, writers, actors and musicians (including Marika Hackman) and other talented people, have generously created unique artwork on a postcard for this initiative by The Friends of Erlestoke Prison and The Salisbury Museum. Purchasing a postcard voucher could mean becoming the owner of a postcard.
Kimberley Appleyard Pallot, Director of Art at St Mary’s Calne, commented: “It is wonderful that our Artists recognise the local opportunities that benefit the wider community, to be thinking, making, ethical artists.”
