Movie set artist lends a hand

Holland Park’s Chris Williams has offered to create an artwork for the Art for Art’s Sake: New Beginnings exhibition and charity auction.

Chris will take time out from his latest film set “Triangle” that stars actress Melissa George to join over 30 well-known artists to donate artwork to the exhibition.

Scheduled 19-28 May at Waterfront Place in Brisbane, Art for Art’s Sake is an annual exhibition and charity auction to raise funds for the Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland.

Chris will draw on his experiences of painting and sculpting movie sets for Queensland feature films such as “The Proposition” and “Aquamarine” to create an artwork for the charity auction.

CEO of the Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland, Angela Tillmanns, said she expects the Brisbane art auction to raise more than $40,000 this year.

"The Art for Art's Sake concept continues to do well and has captured the imaginations of many well known Queensland artists,” said Ms Tillmanns.

“Through fundraisers such as this the League can provide a new beginning for people with a disability through vital equipment, facilities and services.

“All funds raised will go towards improving the lives of Queenslanders with cerebral palsy, including residents and families in the Brisbane area,” she said.

Tickets are on sale now to the Art for Art’s Sake public auction at 6:30pm Wednesday 28 May at Brisbane’s Waterfront Place.

The art auction is presented by Anthony DJ Rigby Insurance and Investment Services and AMP Foundation, which will contribute 50 cents for every dollar raised up to $20,000.
