An auctioneer will be helping to raise money supporting a city theatre’s work with young people.
Pieces by British-Italian artist, Charles Pedone, will go under the hammer at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham next month in aid of the Birmingham Hippodrome’s Youth Programme.
Auctioneer Richard Winterton will help sell of the specially-commissioned pieces.
He said:
“The Hippodrome’s youth projects provide wonderful opportunities for young people.
“I’m delighted to be conducting the auction of this impressive art in such a beautiful venue for a brilliant cause.”
The work has been created as part of efforts to showcase local artistic talent.
Johan Scheepers, general manager of The Grand Hotel, said: “We’re committed to supporting the Birmingham creative community by evolving our contemporary art collection with pieces that contrast with, and compliment the history of the building.
“We’re delighted to be working with Charles on this new installation and to play our part in raising much-needed funds for the vital work the Hippodrome does in supporting and inspiring local young people within the arts.”
