What a phenomenal result from The Great Swansea Art Auction, our School Association's annual fundraising initiative for 2023. Where, 100% of the funds will go directly towards an innovative new art space within the school landscape. The auction was the culmination of many hours of work from our SA Chair, Alice Laing and Vice Chair, Mike Travalia and wider SA committee. The auction was a huge success raising just over $29,000. The evening provided an opportunity for the community to come together and support a common goal, whilst also showcasing the talent and creativity of local artists and our Swansea Primary School students.
With the funds raised, the new art space can now be developed and equipped to provide students with a nurturing environment for artistic expression and learning. This space can serve as a hub for creativity, allowing students to explore their talents and passions in various art forms. This will be a collaborative effort and if you are an artist, teacher, parent we would love to hear your ideas for the development of this new space.
It's worth celebrating this achievement and acknowledging the positive impact it will have on the school and its students. The new art space will likely inspire a new generation of artists and creative thinkers, enriching the school's educational experience and fostering a deeper appreciation for the Arts.
Congratulations, to everyone who contributed to this outstanding result, and thank you!
I am sure the new art space will become a vibrant and inspiring place for generations of students to come.
