Winnipeg fundraiser aims to help grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa
“We have had a tremendous response from Winnipeggers, who have donated over 1,700 pieces of art,” said Diane Sabourin, volunteer.“In fact, the response has been so good, we stopped taking donations as of August 20.”Donations have been wide and varied ranging from prints, water colours, oils, acrylics, decor, contemporary, classic, realistic and abstract art.
Additionally, there were a few notable pieces such as an original Hubert Theroux, an early Robert Hurley, and some Indigenous pieces.“It’s just been amazing, the donations we get, it’s just great. And people know they’re donating to a good cause as well as cleaning out their attic,” she said.“It’s a lovely venue for us and we get a lot of traffic of people who wouldn’t normally know about it, who just happened to be shopping,” said Suek.
