ncas Charity Auction at City Hall raises record £11,500.
Every two years, ncas stages a charity auction in City Hall to boost its funds for commissioning new art, and that time came around again on 27 November. This year Selwyn Taylor, Joseph Wang and their team organised a terrific event, which was packed with punters. One of the highlights of the sale was an oil painting by Maggi Hambling, and by the end of the evening we had raised just over £11,500, a record for our auctions. This means we are in good shape to do even more promoting contemporary art in the region over the next two years, which includes our 60th anniversary in 2016,
