| About Art off the Rock 2006 |
 |
|
Few people in the community will remain untouched by
an elderly friend or relative in care or with
dementia, a stroke victim, or someone of any age
dealing with enduring mental ill health or a
learning disability, a
prisoner or child who requires special support.
Artlink Central projects can help so much in all
these areas. However, we cannot provide our valuable
services without the necessary funds. In order to
continue and to expand our activities, reaching out
to new clients and working with new media, every two
years we hold our major fundraising event: Art
off the
Rock.
This year, Art off the Rock takes place in the Albert
Halls, Stirling, on Sunday 12th November,
6.00-9.00pm. We firmly believe that the quality
of this year's work will enable us to beat the
£16,000 raised in 2004.Tickets cost £15 and are
available from

| Anonymous Postcard Sale |

This year there will be over 300 postcard-sized
original artworks for sale. All the postcards are
anonymous at the point of sale and cost £25. Guests
have ample opportunity to browse for their favourite
artist. Postcard sales begin when the bell rings....
and then its fastest finger first!
