SHEPPARTON artist Tank has helped raise more $5,700 for the GV Health Foundation to assist with the provision of medical equipment, to attract research funding and for educational opportunities to enhance services provided to the community.
Joining forces with McKellars Picture Framing and Wall Art owner, Stuart Gowty, Shepparton Brewery’s Daina Winch and Matt Milsome, and GV Health Foundation’s director, Carmel Johnson, the team were able to raise funds through selling Tank’s art.
At an outdoor exhibition last month, ten of Tank’s prints were sold with a percentage of proceeds going to the GV Health Foundation. One original painting and six brewery label prints were also auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Foundation.
Speaking on Shepparton Brewery on Wednesday, GV Health Foundation’s Carmel Johnson described Tank as, “Our own local Andy Warhol” and expressed her gratitude to all involved for rendering the exhibition a success during a year where fundraising opportunities were scarce.
The GV Health Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life of residents across the region through supporting GV Health services. It is supported by community groups, hospital auxiliaries, local businesses, and individuals who give generously.
