Vodafone Employees Art Exhibition

I was invited to attend a Vodafone employees art exhibition and sale at the Pavilion on 16 July 2007. The aim of the exhibition was to indicate that many of their employees are multi-talented in both their Vodafone work and in their leisure time artistic work. The Pavilion was set up with display boards and tables and all the exhibits were numbered, with separate lists with the work number, artists names, titles of work and prices. There were a total of 23 exhibitors, with a wide range of styles of paintings and photographs. I had to admire the skill of the photographers who were able to manipulate ordinary photos into wonderful images. I could not do that with my box brownie! My favourite in the exhibition was Marie Ackers excellent sculptures, two of which were bronze. They were outside my price range regrettably.

Before I left, I met David Danielli who talked me through the aims of the exhibition and indicated that a donation of 25% from every sale would go to the Samaritans. A very worthy cause and I hope they made a great deal of money.
