GLASGOW ’84 COMMITTEE

2012 ART SHOW

In 2011 the Glasgow`84 Committee donated £167,089 to Macmillan

Cancer Support. This was the largest amount raised by any one group in

Scotland. The total passed to the charity since 1984 is now £2,521,160.

The annual Art Show/Sale is the biggest of our yearly fundraising events.

This year it returns to the splendid galleries at M&Co, Caledonia House,

Inchinnan, Renfrewshire thanks to the generosity of Iain McGeoch,

M&Co Chairman and his Staff. The gallery is spacious, comfortable, and

well lit so browsing can be as leisurely as the public desire. There is extensive parking and good road

directions courtesy of the A.A.

Several new artists are joining us this year plus some graduates from the Glasgow School of Art. Most of

our loyal favourites are returning. Over 600 pieces of art will be displayed with prices ranging from a few

pounds to several thousand pounds.

FOR OUR 2012 ART EXHIBITION THE

RAFFLE PRIZE, SUMMER, TRAIGH

MHOR,

BARRA,

HAS

BEEN

GENEROUSLY

DONATED

BY

PAT

KRAMEK.

Pat is of Scottish Polish descent born in

Edinburgh and initially studied textiles

with Duncan of Jordanstone School of

Art. She has won awards from the RSA

in London and after a successful career

in design and education became a full

time artist in 2000. She has exhibited

in many galleries over the years and also has strong connections with St Petersburg where she not only

exhibits regularly but judges at their annual schools exhibition.

Macmillan requires 97% funding from voluntary donations and is tackling the problem head on with

locally-focussed, innovative services to meet the needs of cancer patients and their families in Glasgow

and the surrounding area. The charity provides a range of medical, financial and emotional support to

help people living with cancer FROM THE MOMENT THEY ARE DIAGNOSED.

There are now 106 Macmillan Nurses in the west of Scotland. It costs £50,000 to fund ONE Macmillan

nurse for ONE year. The Nurse Information Helpline, based in Glasgow, is taking thousands of calls every

month from patients, families and carers.

ONE IN THREE OF US WILL GET CANCER.

Macmillan is investing in vital, ground-breaking and life-changing

services in Glasgow and the west of Scotland to ensure everyone

affected by cancer has a team of people in their corner supporting them

every step of the way.

Glasgow has the highest cancer incidence in Europe so we need your help to enable Macmillan to support

cancer patients and their families.
