Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

Yorkshire artist Lucy Pittaway is hosting a charity fundraiser across her galleries on October 17 and 18.

Yorkshire artist Lucy Pittaway is hosting a charity weekend across her galleries in York, Richmond, Yarm and Keswick on October 17 and 18 to support Dementia UK. Visitors will be able to support families affected by dementia through purchasing artwork, with five per cent of all sales (excluding We Will Remember Them) donated to the charity.

Ten per cent of sales from her specially created piece, There For Ewe, will also go to Dementia UK. Ms Pittaway said: 'There For Ewe is all about connection, kindness and knowing that you're not alone. Dementia affects so many families, and myself and the team are pleased to be able to support Dementia UK's essential work.' The artwork is set in a peaceful Yorkshire landscape and features Ms Pittaway's signature sheep characters gathered under a rising sun and surrounded by colourful wildflowers.

The Charity Weekend is part of a year-long partnership between Lucy Pittaway Ltd and Dementia UK. Ms Pittaway chose the charity after seeing the impact of dementia on her own loved ones. Dementia UK is a specialist dementia nursing charity that supports families through its network of Admiral Nurses, who offer practical advice, guidance and emotional support.
