Arc’s Big Festive Fundraiser

Join us for a vibrant evening of creativity, community, and celebration!

What’s Happening

Art Auction: Bid live on stunning artworks created by Arc artists and volunteers. A chance to own a unique piece while supporting a great cause. Please note that bidding is not mandatory, and the bids will not be reaching hugely unaffordable heights. However, you may just find a wonderful unique Christmas gift, or something that speaks to you for your own walls!

Silent Auction: Discover smaller donated pieces displayed throughout the venue. Place your bids and take home something special.

Art Activity: Life Drawing Session Get involved in a relaxed clothed life drawing session with volunteer models. Materials provided – no experience necessary!

Live Music: Enjoy uplifting musical entertainment.

Refreshments: Your ticket includes a complimentary drink and delicious canapés. Additional drinks and snacks available from our café.

Exhibition Launch: Arts for Wellbeing Be among the first to experience a new exhibition showcasing recent participants artwork from our wellbeing programmes.

This is more than just a celebration: It’s a chance to support Arc’s mission to improve mental health through creativity. Every ticket, bid, and donation helps us continue offering free and low-cost arts programmes to those who need them most. This is our last fundraiser of 2025 and we’re so close to reaching our target of raising £30,000 to celebrate our 30 years of transformational arts for wellbeing programmes. Help us secure the next 30 years, have fun, and take home some beautiful artwork for your home!
