The Folkestone Macmillan Art Show

The Folkestone Macmillan Art Show is coming to Georges House Gallery, 8 High Street, Folkestone from Friday 17th to Tuesday 28th February 2012. It brings together a vibrant collection of work from over 40 talented, Kent-based artists with an affinity to Folkestone and the surrounding area. Georges House Gallery is located a few minutes from the picturesque harbour at the top of the seaside town's famous windy, cobbled street. The gallery will be open 10am - 5pm every day for the duration of the show.

All of the exhibited work is available to buy and Macmillan Cancer Support will receive up to 100% of the proceeds (but no less than 50%) from each sale. The work will appeal to a wide spectrum of tastes and is priced for all budgets. It will be a truly unique opportunity for seasoned collectors and casual art lovers alike to invest in an original masterpiece and in the process aid the vital work of Macmillan Cancer Support. If everything sells, over £10,000 will be raised for Macmillan.

Anyone over the age of 18 who visits the exhibition is eligible to enter into a free draw to win a pair of tickets to see reality TV favourites and chart-toppers, McFly, when they play their sold-out date at The Leas Cliff Hall on Wednesday 14th March. Anyone who buys an item of work from the show will automatically be entered into an exclusive draw to win a three course lunch for two at Folkestone's premiere restaurant, 'Rocksalt'.

The show will be hosted by Tom Langlands who will be running the 2012 London Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support on April 22nd.
