Raffle to be drawn on Sunday 29 November at 3.00pm

Win an original work of art - many prizes to be won! Raffle tickets are £3 each and there will be many prizes to be won! Original artwork will be donated for the exhibition by professional artists from our studios as well as local guest artists. The prizes will be on show from Friday evening, throughout the weekend until the draw, which takes place on Sunday at 3pm in the ArtSpace at Cambridge Artworks. Come along and enjoy a glass of wine, have a look around the studios and spot your favourite artwork! You can also join in the fun when the raffle is drawn on Sunday in the ArtSpace. (If you cannot attend the raffle, and your ticket is drawn, you will be contacted to arrange collection of your prize).

Open Studios – a unique opportunity to come and see seventeen working studios under one roof. Visit during the weekend and see a thriving artistic community using a wide range of media, from ceramics, painting, photography and printmaking to sculpture, textiles, and mixed media/installation. Who knows, perhaps you will find that unique Christmas gift for the discerning art lover or the person who has everything. All artists will have their studios open and will be available to discuss their work, so if you don’t win the piece you have fallen in love with in the exhibition, you can always visit the artist’s studio and see what else is on show.

Raffle Tickets: Tickets can be purchased in advance from Cambridge Artworks. Send us a cheque for £3 per ticket with your name, address and contact number and we will send you your tickets by return or you can just come along and purchase them during your visit. Please see our website for further information.

The Cambridge and Ely Branch of the Alzheimer’s Society was formed in 1997 aiming to give support to those affected by dementia in and around Cambridge. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, but the branch offers support to anyone affected by any form of dementia and to those who care for them. The area of operation covers much of East and South Cambridgeshire where it is estimated that there are about 4000 people affected by some form of dementia.
