Artists Against Food Poverty

Brecon Food Bank, based at St John's Centre, is filling a very real need locally. They are part of the Trussell Trust charity, which runs foodbanks across the UK, and give out three days' worth of emergency supplies at a time to people who are in crisis.
Last year they fed nearly 400 adults and more than 150 children. They handled more than 6 metric tonnes of food, hygiene products and pet food.
Everything they give out is donated. They have collection points in shops, banks and cafes, and other donations come from churches and individuals. However they also need money for running costs, and they run other projects to help their clients.
So on Saturday 26th October they are holding a fund raising Art Auction at The Neuadd, Christ College, Brecon. Viewing is from 5.45pm, with the auction starting at 7pm. Admission is £5, including a drink, refreshments, and entry into the raffle. There will also be live music by Mike Chappell during the viewing period. They are selling tickets on the door and at Brecon Food Festival.
The works in the auction are by local artists, and include an original painting by Meg Stevens (who painted gorgeous wildflowers and local landscapes), others by Pip Woolf and a numbered print by Sir Kyffin Williams. Ardent Gallery and Sable and Hogg gallery in Brecon have also donated works.
They also have a website at www.brecon.foodbank.org.uk where there is a catalogue of the works in the auction, and it's even possible to place a bid online.
