The Great Deptford Art Auction – this Friday!

Neville Johnny of Deptford's much beloved Johnny's DIY & Building Supplies has organised an "upmarket" Art Auction to raise some cash for MIND. Nev's been raising money for the Mental Health charity ever since his brother Roderick died last year.

It's happening this Friday, 22nd March in the new gallery space at 82 Tanners Hill. Arrive at 6.30pm to have a look at the work. The auction begins at 8pm and the auctioneer is from none other than Christies!

Lots of great local artists are taking part – have a preview of some of the work they have contributed on Neville's Facebook page.

Update: 23rd March
The auction raised £1900 to go to MIND. Fantastic effort all round, and congratulations to Neville and all involved.
