An art auction and show will raise funds for the Andrew Cassell Foundation (ACF), this weekend, in memory of keen Isle of Wight sailor, John Garlick.

The Fairwinds Fine Art Exhibition and Sale, at Cowes Yacht Haven, will run from Friday, April 26 to Sunday, April 28.

Opening night and the auction itself is on Friday, at Cowes Yacht Haven, from 6.30pm to 9pm. 

The ticketed event will see auctioneer John Nelson overseeing the sale of work by 13 artists, including landscapes, sculpture and mixed media.

On Saturday and Sunday, the show continues, with a chance to view and buy more art, with a percentage of anything sold also being donated to ACF.

John, who was a keen art connoisseur, died in 2021 before his dream could be realised.

His wife and daughter, Susan and Caroline stepped in to make it happen and this will be their second auction. 

They hope to build on the success of the first, which raised more than £4,400.

 

Commission bids will be accepted until midday on Friday, April 26, via fairwinds-art@acfsailing.org

Work by Chris Gillies, Loren Thorne, Martin Swan, Lyndy Moles, Julie Sajous, Gillian Clark, Peter Allen, Juliet Collins, Sally Pengelly, Andy Fortune, Becky Samuelson, Tony Westmore and Angela Sowden will feature.
