An exclusive art auction raised money for Thames Reach Bondway in May.
‘Rainy Night’ by Jacqueline Chin
GLIMPSE, run by DegreeArt.com in association with entrepreneur Sheetal Mehta, showcased emerging artistic and musical talent and raised awareness of the Vision Impossible art project.
Work by DegreeArt.com artists was sold, and the profits from a silent auction went to Thames Reach Bondway.
Some artwork from the event is still on sale, and can be viewed on DegreeArt.com’s website.

Ten per cent of any profits raised as a result of GLIMPSE will be given to Thames Reach Bondway. In addition, guests who donated money to the charity were given a free raffle ticket, and the winner received a SoundArt UK Complete Speaker System.
