Discover King’s Lynn, the town centre’s Business Improvement District, and Maze Media, an award-winning, local marketing agency, are joining forces this Winter to bring King’s Lynn a compelling, new initiative, The Art of Giving: Exchanging donations for art. The event, inspired by a similar initiative in London gallery, Jealous London, is designed to support the local Foodbank in King’s Lynn and promote local artists. The idea behind The Art of Giving is to encourage people to donate money or food items in exchange for a piece of local artwork. The Art of Giving will launch on the 15th November at 6pm in The Place, Discover King’s Lynn’s pop-up venue located on New Conduit Street in King’s Lynn Town Centre. You will be able to exchange, donate and swap at The Place for the rest of that week also. Artwork on offer during the exchange event will include postcards, digitally designed prints, linocuts, photography of the local area and even some original paintings, all created and donated by local artists. Vicky Etheridge, Manage of Discover King’s Lynn, says: “We have been fortunate enough to receive many generous artwork donations from local creatives and we’re really looking forward to showcasing these at the Art of Giving event on the 15th November. We hope the event will bring people together to support a much-needed local charity during one of their busiest times. Do come along and make an exchange!” If you’d like to make a foodbank donation during or after the Art of Giving event, items which are in particular demand include: • Festive food items (gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, trifle kits, alcohol-free mince pies & alcohol-free Christmas puddings) • Chocolate advent calendars • Small bottles of squash or long-life juice • Small packets of biscuits • Tinned Fruit • Tinned fish • Tinned Meat For more information on The Art of Giving: Exchanging donations for art, or to find out how you can get involved, email: [email protected] or visit www.discoverkingslynn.com.
