art&soul, is the brainchild of Demelza Hospice Care for Children and will bring 
together a mix of 34 pieces of art in a five day event at Rhapsody House gallery,
Tunbridge Wells from the 6th – 10th October.
This will culminate in an auction staged
by Bonhams at Hotel du Vin, Tunbridge Wells on Thursday 11th October (with drinks
at 6.30pm, followed by the auction at 8.30pm).

Damien Hirst’s butterfly painting is expected to be sold at the auction for an amount
exceeding £25,000, and with Demelza entirely dependent on charitable fundraising,
the backing of such an internationally acclaimed artist looks set to make art&soul
a highly successful event.
