Magnitude 9 Exhibition has come to a close, and we have made the final summary to the Australian Red Cross Appeal for Japan & Pacific Disaster Relief. Thank you to the 150+ visitors who have come to Mils Gallery during 11-15 May 2011 and made this Red Cross Appeal Fund Raiser worthwhile in showing our support for the people in Japan.
Every donation, purchase of artwork, sponsorship and volunteer work that made this charity exhibition happen has meant so much in building up to the final amount raised. It is amazing to see all the contributions no matter how small or large has been able to be collected to make a generous show of support.
final funds raised :
$8100
We are happy to have been able to be a platform to remember all who have been lost by the March 11 Tsunami, and to those who are in the process of making their first steps to find their feet. Our thoughts are constantly with you.
This exhibition could not have happened without the generosity of the 9 artists, you can find their artist profiles to have an insight into their connection to Japan.
The support by our major sponsors Canon Australia & Pixel Perfect Pro Labs has been incredible, we cannot imagine the amount of funds being raised without their generous support in printing all artworks. And our event sponsors Peroni, Peter Lehmann Wines, Zushi Restaurant & Planet Cake have made the events such a success for the general public to be able to come to.
Thank you for following this fund raiser, a Behind the Scenes page gives you an insight into how we came about making it all happen. We wanted to pass on what we learnt from this exhibition to other creative individuals and fund raisers who are planning on a similar event. We wish the affected communities in Japan as much aid and productivity in the recovery process.
Cheers, Naoko & Yann
