The Dust has settled and the exhibition is over, Thursday night saw an explosion of South London Art in the heart of Hackney with new art collections from Amanda Denise Graham, Felix Price and Jon Judace.
All Artists displayed original collections, with some works put up for auction, the one night special held at NuDawn Hackney, ran from 7pm till midnight. The night included an exhibition and auction, with charity donations being made to the RNIB and FightforSight Charities.
It was a humbling experience to see how many people came to the exhibition, we had just over 100 visitors in total, as well as representatives from our nominated charities, and feedback received has been very positive.
I especially enjoyed the fact that everyone who came seemed to appreciate work from all the artists, there was not a dull moment, with plenty of art for everyone to see.
Thank you to Kevin Jones, Lorraine @nudawn and Jackie @rekindledhackney, who have all helped in so many ways, without them this event would not have been possible and for that I am truly grateful.
A Special Thank you is reserved for the artists's Felix Price and Amanda Denise Graham for agreeing to be involved and exhibit work for the show. This show was intended to showcase our work, and highlight how art is manipulated and interpreted by us in different ways, visitors got a real insight into who we are as people tonight, not just from meeting and speaking to us, but by seeing some of our most personal, emotional and spiritual artwork, in its original form.
N.B. To Young Theo, Thank you for your help, you really helped us all in so many ways, especially with the door registrations, so many people commented on how polite and diligent you were on the night. And Myles your help on the night was very much appreciated, from helping on the door, to mingling with guests, to singlehandedly increasing the number of visitors, Thanks to you both.
Curating this event has given me a real confidence boost and also allowed me to see my own work from a different perspective, I anticipate a great deal of artistic growth as a result of this experience and I thank all those who have taken the time to give me feedback.
