Raffle to support acquisition of major work

Over the past 12-months the Govett-Brewster Foundation has been leading a campaign to acquire one of the most important and powerful art works seen in the Gallery in recent years for the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery’s permanent collection – Brett Graham’s Cease Tide of Wrongdoing.

We are almost there. To reach our target and ensure this nationally significant artwork can remain in public hands, at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, we are running a unique fundraising raffle to raise the last funds required.
