PEDAS Autumn Exhibition
"HOLDING THE MOMENT" 
14 – 31 October 2022

"To me, painting holds the moment in the way that a photograph never does.  If you paint or draw whether its en plein air or in the studio, you remember where you were, what you felt, who came and talked to you, the dog that came and drank your water, the struggles you had with the painting."  - Liz Magee

​'ART INTO FOOD' Auction of Paintings
​

If you like Art and want to find a pre-Christmas bargain - whilst helping support a good cause - come to the auction at Gather, Poole Dolphin Centre, Saturday 5th November.
​

Raising money for ‘Waste Not Want Not’  

Jacqui Gush (PEDAS Chair) says "Waste Not Want Not is run by a lovely lady called Erika. It was started in 2015 by two dedicated people, now in their 80's. I spent an hour there and I have to say their set up is impressive. They operate as a supermarket to members, of which they have 597. They have 36 volunteers and are well supported by local supermarkets. However, they also look after their members and now offer other support and training including cooking skills, mental health support, eating on a budget and they give away cooking equipment, perfect for bedsits which has been donated. I should add that they also support an increasing number of Ukranian refugees - all with very sad stories, and even have leaflets printed in Ukrainian.”  

Erika will be on hand at the auction to talk about the charity.
 
So, if you like Art and are interested in finding a bargain whilst helping a good cause come to the auction at Gather, 5th November, start time 11 am.

If you’re an artist who would like to donate some of your work to help those in need, bring your work along from 9am. See Poole and East Dorset Art Society website to find out how to take part.
