Yorkshire-based artist Lucy Pittaway is hosting a charity fundraiser across her galleries on October 17 and 18 to support Dementia UK.

North Yorkshire artist Lucy Pittaway is hosting a charity weekend across her galleries in York, Richmond, Yarm, and Keswick on 17 and 18 October to support Dementia UK.

Visitors will be able to support families affected by dementia through artwork purchases. Five per cent of all sales, excluding We Will Remember Them, will be donated to Dementia UK. Ten per cent of sales from her specially created piece There For Ewe will also go to the charity.

Ms Pittaway said: 'There For Ewe is all about connection, kindness and knowing that you're not alone.' She chose the charity after seeing the impact of dementia on her own loved ones. There For Ewe features her signature sheep characters gathered under a rising sun and surrounded by colourful wildflowers, set in a peaceful Yorkshire landscape.

The weekend is part of a year-long partnership between Lucy Pittaway Ltd and Dementia UK, a specialist dementia nursing charity that supports families through its network of Admiral Nurses.
