Are you downsizing? No longer want to keep that work of art?

Tauranga Rotary members are collecting art for their Annual Book and Art Sale in March.

Joan McKirdy and Margaret Cooper, both members of Tauranga Rotary, say they are totally astounded at the quality of art pieces that are so generously donated each year.

"Today residents downsize their living arrangements, or change their décor in their homes and these precious pieces are often tossed aside or put in a cupboard and forgotton," says the pair.

Many items are valuable and can be donated to the sale, which will be held on March 1-3, 2024, at the Seeka Coolstore, Harvard Way, Mount Maunganui.

The pair say great care is taken in displaying the items appropriately.

"The art when purchased gives new life to homes and many offices around the region and the buyers are often so overjoyed with their purchases it is rewarding."

This year Joan and Margaret anticipate showing more than 300 pieces of art alongside rescue art pieces that Paul Goodall has already collected and prepared for sale.

They say "the display will be outstanding".

"So think art, think of how can you make a difference in your community by supporting Tauranga Rotary."
