On Saturday January 14th St Catherine’s Primary School in Sandyford, Newcastle held the opening of their Art Exhibition at The Foyer Café and Art Gallery at Jesmond Methodist Church. Year 5 Pupils had been asked to produce a piece of creative art which represented their ‘idea of heaven’. It was obvious that a lot of time and effort had been spent creating such excellent finished products.

We must say a big Thank You to Miss Frazer and the Foyer Café and Art Gallery for their efforts and support in staging the exhibition which only just closed at the beginning of March.

ME North East were delighted to be invited to the opening of the exhibition and to not only see the complete works of art but to also meet some of the young artists. We were asked to make a thank you speech to all the pupils and stressed to everyone how grateful we were for the pupils to have nominated ME North East the chosen charity. All money raised from the sale of the paintings has kindly been donated to us and will go directly to the Young People’s Group to provide workshops, events, educational packs etc. Thank you to everyone involved.
