Utopia: The Unexpected Gallery in Holt is holding a special launch party to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK, the UK’s leading dementia research charity, and to celebrate living 10 years in Norfolk and the opening of their new gallery at 9 Fish Hill, Holt.  The Gallery, moved across town after 5 years, from 33 High Street to 9 Fish Hill, this month.

It aims to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK, the charity leading the search for a cure for the diseases that cause dementia, by hosting a charity party with special offers on the night, a raffle and donation box.

The party takes place on 11 October at 4.30 - 7.30pm

Two new solo exhibitions to launch:

Talking Heads

Ceramic tales by famous international sculptor Christy Keeney

Menagerie

A magical animal kingdom sculpted from clay by Elaine Peto

Jac Scott said:

“We want this to be a wonderful evening of art with a strong message that Alzheimers is a dreadful disease that effects half of us in some way. It has already impacted hard on our lives and we treat each day as a new challenge. Supporting this charity is vital to progressing research into dementia."

Lucy Squance, Director of Supporter Led Fundraising at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:

“If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – either by developing it ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both. 

“Fantastic fundraising efforts like this are driving our search for a cure to end the heartbreak of dementia.”
