Art exhibition to support Safe Haven Caravans - The Triangle Community Newspaper

Art exhibition featuring Lois Irwin and guests – supporting Safe Haven Caravans

Have you heard of Safe Haven Caravans? No? Well, it’s an initiative to help address a critical accommodation need in the community.

Affordable housing may be beyond the reach of many for a variety of reasons. The concept for Safe Haven Caravans evolved as Tilba’s Chris Scroggy (of Sweetwater fame) and fellow helpers began providing donated caravans to those in difficult circumstances, providing shelter, safety and comfort.

Lois Irwin and fellow artists are staging an art exhibition in support of Safe Haven Caravans at the Old Butter Factory on 1468 Cobargo Bermagui Rd on 10, 11 and 12 April from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm each day.

The exhibition will feature artworks by Lois Irwin along with guests Helen Morris, Doris Hoyne, Samantha Davies and Alex Bell. All artworks are being donated and all funds raised will go towards Safe Haven Caravans.

Come along and support this worthy project by purchasing artworks from recognised local artists or simply make a donation on the day at the door – yep, there will be a bucket!
