We are really excited to announce that Mind in Kingston and KINC, the Kingston Independent Network of Creatives, will work again in partnership to deliver the Mystery Art Sale!

Our opening night is on Friday 17th of May from 6-9pm, with a raffle, drinks and music from ELTEL, and we are also open on the 18th of May from 12-6pm.

Local photographer Paul Mowatt and colleagues from KINC are linking in with artists who will donate their original art work to be sold anonymously for a set price of only £35. This will allow people to buy a genuine art work at the fraction of the gallery price, and for all artists to given exposure to a new audience. All the proceeds will go to Mind in Kingston.

The Mystery Art Sale coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week, and will help to raise awareness of mental health issues in a positive way.
