Quayside Wealth Management were once again proud to be the main sponsor of the Hidden Potential Art Event at Elmore Court. 

For a suggested donation of £50 attendees received a unique piece of artwork chosen at random. Guests were invited to a canapés and drinks event at the prestigious, historic venue of Elmore Court in Quedgeley, Gloucestershire, home of the Guise Family, where all the artwork was on show before being distributed on the night. The event was held in the beautiful Gillyflower Room on the evening of September 25th. 

There is a hidden army of young people in our community who are taking on the ‘adult-sized’ responsibilities of caring for a family member who is ill, disabled or experiencing mental ill health. Overlooked, their potential will go unsupported but Gloucestershire Young Carers is a charity that offers support to young carers from 8 years old upwards.

Funds raised through the evening were generated due to the feature of some of the most collectable and interesting artists practising today. Postcard-sized pieces of artwork had been custom-created and donated by a raft of artists from across the world. Among them were: artists Nic Fiddian-Green, Craig Davison, Michael Cooper, Soomin Leong, John Isaacs, Wolfgang Buttress and Sue Nagel. Celebrities who have donated pieces include: Hollywood actor Simon Pegg, writer Jilly Cooper, music producer Magnus Fiennes and comedian Jack Dee and Actor John Challis, aka ‘Boycie’ from Only Fools and Horses. There were also some amazing local artists and, of course, the talented young carers themselves who provided postcards for the evening.
