Bouddi Foundation organises exhibition and auction

The Bouddi Foundation for the Arts is organising an exhibition and auction, Self Portraits on Paper, to take place at the Yellow House in Potts Point between March 11 and 17.

All works to be exhibited will be auctioned by auctioneer Mr Andrew Shapiro on Thursday, March 17, at 7pm.

The exhibition, conceived by curator Mr Gavin Wilson, will present works by 24 contemporary Australian artists.

The self-portraits were donated by the artists and all proceeds will go to recipients of Bouddi Foundation grants.

The Bouddi Foundation is a charitable organisation which makes grants to young people on the Central Coast to pursue their passion in the arts - music, film-making, photography, and other creative endeavours.

Foundation committee member Ms Joy Park said: "The society is making a real impact on young, talented people in our Central Coast community.

"The gala auction will be a great opportunity for collectors, and those new to the experience, to purchase unique works by some of Australia's leading contemporary artists.

"Apart from the thrill of bidding for a prized work, buyers will be happy in the knowledge that all proceeds are going to a worthy cause."

The works to be auctioned can be viewed at www.bouddiarts.org.au.

The Yellow House is located at 59 Macleay St, Potts Point.
