USE OF ARTSDIARY PHOTOS

The auction was organised by Turua Gallery, with 100% of proceeds going to
the I AM HOPE Trust to help fund GUMBOOT FRIDAY councelling sessions,
and was held on 12 May 2023 at the premises of BABYLON STORE (opposite
the gallery in St Heliers). The event was attended by about 150 people,
and raised close to $60,000 - enough to provide for one-to-one councelling
sessions for 400 young people. Every artwork was sold, meeting their
reserves, and many for substantially more.

Participating artists: Abbey Merson, Bec Robertson, Carmel van der Hoeven,
Carrie Broomhall, Georgina Hoby Scutt, Harriet Millar, Helen Bankers,
Jamie Adamson, Kirsty Nixon, Kylie Rusk, Michel Tuffery,
Nina Chechelashvili, Rachael Mayne, Sara Langdon & Tony Ogle.
