For more information or to obtain an application, see the Foundation website at http://www.bouddiarts.org.au Bouddi Foundation Auction Funds Youth Art Grants The Bouddi Foundation for the Arts held an art auction to provide support for young Central Coast artists. The highly successful March 17 event ensured talented young people will receive grants in 2016 and future years. Ms Anna Volska, actress and patron of the Foundation, spoke for her husband, noted Actor and Director John Bell, in welcoming a full-to-capacity crowd of art collectors to Sydney's Yellow House Gallery. "If your home is on the Central Coast and you are pursuing a career as a talented young artist in any of the arts, musician, potter, puppeteer, filmmaker, song writer, dancer, writer, photographer or engaged in any of the arts, opportunity is hard to come by and Sydney is a long way away if you don't have a car," Ms Volska said. She acknowledged "the 25 wonderful, brilliant and generous artists who donated their work" along with skilled auctioneer Andrew Shapiro, and art curator Gavin Wilson. Wilson who masterminded the event said: "The idea was to invite a committed group of talented artists to produce self portraits in any medium on the same size sheet of paper. "This gave me the opportunity to develop a cohesive, dynamic exhibition that could travel anywhere in a suitcase," he said. The youngest artist was Jordan Richardson, past recipient of a Bouddi Foundation for the Arts grant. Jordan acknowledged how, just as important as the financial assistance, was the professional mentorship, respect and encouragement he received from local artist Peter Godwin, a member of the Foundation's committee. John Bell said: "I am thrilled with the results of the auction and so grateful to Andrew Shapiro and all the outstanding artists who so generously gave their work. "It is inspiring to see our leading artists giving such support to the next generation."
