Each year we have a good cause. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our fundraisers. Without the generosity of our lovely customers and talented artists, none of this would be possible.
Following the success of last year's fundraiser, we are delighted to continue to support PAPYRUS as our charity for 2024. A raffle to win Gary Walton's original 'Constellation Cove' will run until April.
Would you like to meet Gary Walton? We are hosting a meet the Artist event at The Braithwaite Gallery on Sunday 28th April 2024. Join us from 11am.
Gary is planning to bring an almost finished original , so attendees of the event can add their artistic talents to the painting to help finish the artwork. What a great idea!
Tickets are available for free on Eventbrite - as the gallery is a small building we thought allocating time slots would be helpful. Please don't worry if you can't access Eventbrite - you'll not be turned away!
In Winter 2022, we began a new fundraising protect for PAPYRUS - a charity focused on prevention of suicide in the young. At 31 December 2023, the total sent to the charity via our JustGiving page stands at £6909. Huge thanks to everyone involved. Together we can make a difference.
At start of the dreadful war in Ukraine in early 2022, Mark Braithwaite's Rosebud and Charlie wanted to do their bit to help the children fleeing from their homes in the humanitarian crisis facing Ukraine, so we launched our 'Let the Children Play' appeal, with all profits to the Disasters Emergency Committee Appeal, by November 2022, we had sent £2204 to the Ukraine Appeal.
Previous charity prints have raised funds for Mind - with the help of artist Sam Toft, we raised more than £5000 with her 'Looking After Each Other' artwork.
With Artist Paul Heeley we raised £752 for Dementia UK and £1000 for Choose2Youth.
Rosebud also raised funds for NHS Charities Together in the first COVID lockdown.
After the dreadful Boxing Day floods in York in 2015, gallery resident artist Mark Braithwaite painted 'Flood Lights' which was raffled at the Hold Back the River fundraising concert at York Barbican and raised £1192 for the York Flood Appeal.
