A charity life drawing class is set to return to Knaresborough for a second time next month.
Yorkshire Charity Life Drawing is hosting the all-day event in aid of Leeds Hospitals Charity and Saint Michael’s Hospice.
It’s being held at Chain Lane Community Hub from 9:30am until 4pm on Sunday 23rd March.
Following the tragic passing of work colleague Dominic Hartley at the age of 24, organiser Geoff Almond wanted to raise funds for the charity chosen by Dominic’s parents, Leeds Hospital Fund.
Saint Michael’s Hospice was chosen as an additional charity to benefit.
Geoff said:
“Dominic was so kind and considerate and he was more like a son to me than a work colleague so I wanted to do something in his memory.
“I want this to become a regular event, attracting new and existing artists.”
There is the choice of two rooms running concurrently (long and short poses) and options for morning or afternoon sessions or a discounted ‘All day’ pass. The event is also available via Zoom.
Further details can be found via the ticketing site https://bit.ly/YCLD2025 and also on Facebook and Instagram via @yorkshirecharitylifedrawing.
For those unable to attend but who would like to contribute, there is a donation site on Give As You Live page https://bit.ly/DonateYCLD25
