The prestigious Ellesmere Art Exhibition officially opened last night with a special VIP Preview Evening at Ellesmere College, welcoming artists, their guests, hospice supporters and members of the local community for an inspiring celebration of art in support of Nightingale House Hospice.
The exhibition was formally opened with speeches from Headmaster of Ellesmere College, Jonathan Shaw, Chief Executive of Nightingale House Hospice, Lauren Emberton, and hospice nurse Alison Tiffen, who spoke passionately about the hospice’s services and the impact they have on patients and families across the region.
Guests enjoyed an exclusive first look at an exceptional collection of artwork from a wide range of talented artists, with pieces valued from £60 to £24,000, ensuring there is something to suit every taste and budget. The exhibition showcases an eclectic mix of styles and mediums, from vibrant abstract collages and atmospheric landscape watercolours to striking Carrara marble and bronze sculptures.
Every purchase made at the exhibition will help support the vital work of Nightingale House Hospice, helping the charity continue providing specialist care and support to local patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses.
Speaking at the event, Lauren Emberton said:
“This exhibition is a wonderful celebration of creativity, community and compassion. We are incredibly grateful to the artists, Ellesmere College and everyone involved for supporting the hospice in such a meaningful way. The artwork on display is truly stunning and we would encourage anybody to come along over the next few days to experience it for themselves.”
