The upcoming Havana Party ‘Let’s Do Latin’ just got even more exciting with the announcement that the evening’s art auction will include a commissioned piece by a local Cannonvale artist, Trudy Hastings.
This respected artist has worked on various major projects overseas and nationally overseeing conceptual design, exterior finishes, and art pieces.
She now shares her creative talent in her latest piece ‘Tiny Homes, Big Heart’, inspired by the fundraiser’s beneficiary – the Tiny House Project - which aims to fund four ‘tiny homes’ in Proserpine for homeless women over 55.
It is this demographic that are particularly susceptible to homelessness.
“Elderly women living amongst us are valued so little that no one will provide them with a safe place to sleep, eat or live,” Fundraiser Fiona Donnellan said.
“A place where they can be surrounded by the memories and possessions they have gathered over a lifetime”.
Fundraising Coordinator for Whitsunday Housing, Sandy Clark, said that it has taken a band of compassionate local women to join forces to make a difference.
“Things will be different now, because women with love and compassion have teamed up as volunteers to bring about change,” she explains.
“The art depicts the love and joy taking place in the very roots of the foundations of the tiny homes.
“The power of love can be seen springing up through the earth and giving birth to new lives in bright happy houses, creating the hope and dignity elderly women deserve.”
Tickets for this event are $125 each available from Airlie Events. Link: https://bit.ly/Lets-Do-Latin
