Exhibition to raise funds for literacy

An art exhibition to raise funds for literacy in third world countries will take place at the Patonga Progress Hall on May 29.

The exhibition entitled, Body Parts, will be a collaboration of four artists, with mosaic, photographic, sculpture and textile art works.

It will raise funds for Room to Read, a not for profit organisation whose mission is to campaign for global literacy and education.

Money raised from the Body Parts exhibition will go towards building libraries and schools, running scholarship programs and printing children's books in low-income countries.

Event organiser Mr Kel Butler said the exhibition would be a fun community day that would support local artists and disadvantaged children.
