Artworks Mini Artworks Prize Draw 2024 in support of The Alfie Carpenter Charity for Creative Arts

Artworks Mini Artworks Prize Draw

Win an Original Artwork by one of our Artists.  You can see the display of 28 Mini Artworks in the Artworks exhibition.

The Prize Draw takes place at 3pm on Saturday 28th September 2024.

Every year our artists create a small artwork for the Mini Artworks Prize Draw, to support a local charity that benefits local communities. The charity we have elected to support in 2024 is the newly incorporated Alfie Carpenter Charity for Creative Arts. The Mini Artworks Prize Draw also supports our Schools Programme which encourages schools to visit the Artworks exhibition and arranges school visits by our artists to deliver workshops.

The Alfie Carpenter Charity for Creative Arts

Vision: to enable young creatives to take the next step to develop their artistic work by supplying small grants for one off projects or capital costs for training or materials and further the development of the creative arts in East Anglia.

Aims: to advance education for the public benefit in East Anglia by the provision of grants that nurture talent and raise the standard of artistic skills and by providing opportunities for people who might otherwise be excluded, in particular but not exclusively for creative artists aged 20-35 years with low income.
