Rowan’s ‘The Great Outdoors’ Charity Art Exhibition

Get creative and help raise funds for adults with learning disabilities

Rowan is a Cambridge based arts centre and charity where people with learning disabilities work alongside artists in their choice of woodwork, ceramics, printmaking, textiles, mixed media, the performing arts and Forest School.

‘The Great Outdoors’ Charity Art Exhibition

 

We are holding our 3rd art exhibition to raise funds for our student artists as we continue to support them day-to-day at Rowan as well as virtually. At our last exhibition, held in February 2020, we had over 150 people involved with 172 canvases on display raising over £6000. We have decided to take the bull by the horns and go ahead with an exhibition for 2021 and we would love for you to be involved!

The exhibition, next February, gives all artists the chance to make a real difference, either by producing artwork for sale or through buying at the exhibition. This event is open to any artist – novice, amateur and professional alike. This year it is time to explore The Great Outdoors! Through landscape / cityscape / animals / birds / plant life / holidays / adventure activities / camping / gardens / fantasy – the possibilities are endless!

Canvases can now be pre-ordered to purchase from Rowan and are just £10 or get in touch to organise a click and collect service. Contact Hetti on hetti@rowanhumberstone.co.uk or call 01223 566027.

More information HERE – including how to get involved, when canvases are due back and all the other important little details.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
