Pallas for Palestine raises over €12,000!
On the day that Ireland and other European countries officially acknowledge the statehood of Palestine we are delighted to report that we raised €12,332 in sales and donations for our recent Pallas for Palestine Exhibition.
Sincere thanks to all who contributed to the Pallas for Palestine Fundraising exhibition, to all the studio artists who generously offered their works for sale, to our sponsors Galway Bay Brewery and Sheridans Cheesemongers, to the Digital Hub who hosted and provided the event location and the public who came and purchased works and gave donations, and of course UNRA and MSF for their tireless work in Palestine.
We also want to express our gratitude to Jonathan Fowler, Deputy Director of Communications for UNRWA, for his address during the opening and for kindly answering the audience's questions.
We'd like to especially thank the studio artists who participated in the exhibition. More information on the artists is available here:
