Opal 8 Collective, comprised of Fine Art graduates from Hereford College of Arts, seeks to raise £4,000 for the Free Range exhibition in London. They require community support through donations and advertising, and are hosting a sponsored head-shave event to aid fundraising efforts.

A group of Herefordshire artists, known as Opal 8 Collective, aims to raise £4,000 to showcase their work at the prestigious Free Range exhibition in London. This exhibition provides a platform for emerging artists from diverse disciplines to present their art to a national and international audience.

To cover costs such as hire fees, security, power, and cleanup, the collective is appealing for support from local businesses and the community through donations or advertising partnerships. They are also seeking local prizes and vouchers for their raffle.

To further fundraise, a member will host a sponsored head-shave event on April 3 at Hereford College of Arts, with the shaved hair donated to The Little Princess Trust.

In exchange for support, the collective will promote local businesses through marketing efforts, including logos featured in promotional materials. They also plan to organise community arts workshops in Hereford to engage local residents in the arts.
