The Chilterns Neuro Centre is pleased to announce the success of its 20th annual Pop-Up Art Weekend, which took place in Wendover this past weekend. The event, which supports the Centre’s work with individuals affected by MS, Parkinson’s, and strokes, raised an impressive £21,530 and welcomed over 1,000 visitors.
Since its inception in 2005, the Pop-Up Art Weekend has raised a total of £212,000 for the Wendover-based charity.
The exhibition, in collaboration with the Clare Foundation, featured the work of over 80 talented artists, including paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and photography. The event also offered a selection of homemade cakes, adding to the vibrant and inspiring atmosphere.
The weekend began with a special preview evening on Friday, attended by notable figures such as The Countess Howe, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, and Cllr Alan Sherwell, Mayor of Aylesbury.
Hannah Prentice, Community and Events Manager at the Chilterns Neuro Centre, expressed her gratitude for the success of the event: “It was truly a fantastic weekend that just gets better every year. We are overwhelmed by the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone who took part, from the talented artists and dedicated volunteers to the visitors who came to support us. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event such a success.”
The Pop-Up Art Weekend not only celebrated creativity but also the power of community, bringing people together for an important cause. The funds raised will support the Centre in providing physical, practical, and emotional support to its members, empowering them to live life to the fullest.
