BF Buderim Craft Cottage raffle prizes

Unique artwork donated by local artists to be raffled in aid of Buderim Foundation 2018 Community Challenge

Eight beautiful works of art representing the remarkable talent of local Buderim artists and artisans have been donated to the Buderim Foundation as prizes for a very special raffle in support of the Buderim Foundation 2018 Community Challenge.

The unique work has been produced by members of art groups comprising Buderim Craft Cottage, a much-loved artists’ collective in the heart of Buderim village.

Some of the eight pieces of artwork included in the raffle have been created by individual artists. Others have been designed and made as a collaborative effort by a number of artists.

One of the prizes created as an artistic collaboration is a splendid contemporary quilt titled “Xanadu”. Designed by the Cottage’s Patchwork Group, and constructed from batik cottons, the quilt is designed for display in a foyer or large room, although it could be used as a bed quilt.

Buderim Foundation calling for art donations to auction

The Buderim Foundation has launched an appeal for donations of artworks. The intention is to auction these works towards the end of the Foundation’s 2018 Community Challenge to boost its trust funds, whose earnings are dedicated to making grants to local community groups.

The Community Challenge marks the 10th year of the Foundation making grants to support the work of these community groups.

In that decade, earnings on the trust funds, whose combined assets now stand at almost $1.5million, have enabled the Foundation to distribute almost $400000 in grants.

The art auction is one of several special initiatives undertaken in the 2018 Community Challenge year.
