Get Dring Mobile Art Auction in association with Dreweatts and www.the-saleroom.com
The Get Dring Mobile fund-raising campaign has been running since April this year when two of Mikes friends had the idea and started the whole campaign by jumping out of an aeroplane. Mike Dring broke his neck when he was 23, resulting in tetraplegia and the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair, the funds raised are to purchase a fully adapted vehicle that he can drive unassisted and from his wheelchair. The next event is the art exhibition and auction which is taking place at The Paintworks, Bath Road, Bristol on the 14th and 15th October. Viewing and pre-registration is taking place between 11am and 9pm on Wednesday 14th, with further viewing from 12pm on the Thursday, there will also be live painting from 4pm and the auction will commence at 7pm.
If you cannot make it to the event you can still view the work, make commission bids or bid live on line with thanks to The Saleroom who are fully supporting the event and providing on line-bidding facilities with no additional charge to bidders.
