The very first Ashdown Forest Open Studios took place last weekend and saw more than 80 Sussex artists and makers open their doors across 20 venues in and around Ashdown Forest.  As a part of the event, local artists have generously donated work to a Charity Auction.

With enormous thanks to Ashdown Forest Open Studios, we’re proud to launch our first ever online art auction in aid of Ashdown Forest.

Artists taking part in the Open Studios event have donated no fewer than 33 original pieces of art – and one of them could be yours at the click of a button!

The auction is open now and ends on Sunday 13th September, but don’t delay – bid today!

The auction is raising funds for the Ashdown Forest Hundred Year Legacy Fund, supporting long term projects for the future of Ashdown Forest.

Huge thanks go to Sandy Infield and her amazing team of volunteers for their hard work, and of course to all of the artists who have donated pieces for the auction.
