The Quentin Follies and Art Auction
The Quentin Follies and Art Auction is an annual event to raise funds for the Quentin Bell Commemoration Fund, which was set up in 1997 to acquire paintings that were originally at Charleston. The 2010 event, which marked the 100 th anniversary of the birth of Quentin Bell, was a huge success. A capacity audience enjoyed dinner in the sunshine in the courtyard of the Charleston Barn, followed by a wonderful evening of entertainment in the barn itself. The event finished with a spectacular display of fireworks over the Charleston pond.
The auction of artworks this year raised a grand total of just under £12,000 towards the Quentin Bell Commemoration Fund which was set up to acquire and return to Charleston paintings that were originally in the house.
The Charleston Trust is extremely grateful to Cressida Bell, Paul Beecham and all the artists, performers and volunteers who made this event such a success.
