Art Raffle Fundraiser
The fabulous Hold It Up Collective host an art raffle fundraiser to help Our House Wakefield develop our new home!
Over 50 artists have kindly contributed works to the raffle, with tickets costing £5 each or £10 for 5. Tickets will be available at the event and all money raised goes to the Our House fundraiser.
It’s a great opportunity to come along and see some wonderful art before it’s raffled off. You’ll also be able to catch up with members of the Our House team while the new venue is still in development.
The team would like to thank the Hold It Up Collective for organising this event and The Art House for hosting it!
The Art House is an accessible venue. Find out more on their website.
