Edinburgh Printmakers on Union Street will hold a fundraising spring auction on 5 March, 6–9pm.
Some 141 lots will go under the hammer, comprising a range of styles and prices (some eminently affordable) by artists including the internationally renowned John Bellany, Calum Colvin, Alan Davie, Graham Fagen, Kenny Hunter, Chad McCail, Scott Myles, Graham Todd, Kirsty Whiten and Adrian Wiszniewski.
Featured on this page is an unrepresentative sample of those prints which appealed to one Spurtle contributor. You can see all the lots by following this link to the EP website.
There you will also find information on how to place absentee, advanced and silent auction bids.
To book a place at the live event, email Vanessa Boyd or Tel. 0131 557 2479. Tickets cost £5 per person, which includes refreshments and entry into a prize draw to win a framed print (worth £300) by Scottish artist Jane Hyslop.
