March  2009

Greyhound Art Exhibition

01/03/2009 - 30/04/2009
Cheshire (TBC)
This is a very exciting new event for the Cheshire and Surrounds team! It is still in the early planning stages but will run for 4-6 weeks during March/April 2009. A final location is still to be confirmed as we are currently in discussion with local galleries.

The event will consist of the exhibition itself, meet and greet sessions, competitions and hopefully a final sale auction.

So this is a call for ALL budding artists, wherever you are based and whatever type of art you do - we ask only that it can be related to a greyhound and lurcher theme!

If you would be interested in displaying and potentially selling your work through this exhibition and helping to raise awareness (and hopefully some funds) for our hounds, then please do get in touch. The exhibition will cover a diverse range of mediums, from paintings, sketches and photography to textiles and woodwork and even poetry. There will be something for everyone and hopefully a few good prizes up for grabs in the competitions!

We will post further details as the event plans are confirmed, but in the meantime, if you would like to get involved then please give us a call :-)
