This year The Art House took part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, raising funds for Artwalk, Wakefield’s iconic bi-monthly evening of culture.
We had just one week, from Tuesday 29 November – Tuesday 6 December, to raise £12,000 through match funding. The response to our campaign from friends, family, those we work with, and our supporters, was incredible. We raised a total of £12,561. At The Art House we were truly overwhelmed with the support we received, not just in donations but in spreading the word, holding events and auctions to raise funds, sharing thoughts about and experiences of Artwalk and what the mini festival means to you, and more.
Below is a document of all those that generously made a donation to The Art House in this campaign. We want to take this moment to thank each and every person for your contribution, no matter the amount, because every penny that we’ve received will, together, enable us to continue running Artwalk and delivering creativity to Wakefield.
While our Big Give Christmas Challenge is over, you can still make a donation to The Art House and support the work that we do. Simply click the button below to get started.
