Art draws in hospice cash

ARTISTS and sculptors are putting on a show to raise funds for a city hospice.

More than 100 leading contemporary artists are contributing to St Columba's Hospice's annual exhibition in the Freemasons Hall in George Street. They hope to raise £285,000 for the hospice, based in Granton.

Paintings, jewellery, sculptures and ceramics will be on sale, with a special section of small paintings to suit all budgets.

Charlotte Cadzow, who teaches at Leith School of Art and Loretto School, Musselburgh, will be displaying her stunning paintings of the East Lothian coastline.

The exhibition is open from June 5 to 7.
