Announcing Art for Mito 2024!

Art for Mito News ImageWe are thrilled to announce the Art for Mito art sale and exhibition, an event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mitochondrial disease research. This special event will take place from November 1st to 10th at the Culturedale Hub, located in Northgate House, Halifax.

We are honoured to be collaborating with Culturedale for this event, who very kindly donated the venue space. We have also collaborated with Leigh Network, with the proceeds being shared between both charities, as a tribute to the incredible Faye Wylie, one of our featured artists, who we sadly lost recently and who founded Leigh Network.

To launch Art for Mito, we are hosting a special preview event on November 1st at 6PM. This evening will celebrate both art and the mito community, offering attendees the chance to meet some of their artists, purchase their works, and learn more about how their contributions are making a real difference to those with mitochondrial disease.

We are excited to present an incredible line-up of artists from West Yorkshire and beyond, who have all kindly contributed pieces for the sale and exhibition. Among them are Roger Davis, a renowned local talent, Matthew Evans, Carol Banks, and the esteemed hyperrealist artist Darren Baker, who was famously commissioned to paint the Queen. In addition to these celebrated artists, we are proud to feature some amazing works from talented individuals who live with mitochondrial disease, including Paul Jorden, Triste Simonet-Shaw, and, of course, Faye Wylie.

So, whether you’re an art enthusiast, a supporter of the cause, or someone just looking to make a difference, we invite you to join us at the Culturedale Hub. This exhibition will be a great occasion showcasing the artwork, raising some funds and most importantly increasing awareness about mito. For those of you who can’t make the event, the remaining pieces of art will also be available to view and buy online, on our website, from the 12th- 30th November, so you don’t miss out!
