                            A friend of Muddy Matches tragically lost her 29-year-old daughter earlier this year to a rare and aggressive form of cancer. In her memory, and to help fund.

                                    “Art in a Box” – Bringing Art Into the Countryside
                                
                            
                            Our friends at the RABI have come up with great new fundraising idea that also focuses on bringing art into the countryside.
As RABI Regional Officer Milly Wastie explains, “the idea of ‘Art in the Box’ is to encourage farmers to clear out any spare loose boxes or stables they may have and turn them into miniature art galleries to host their own art exhibitions.  It would be absolutely wonderful if farmers up and down the country get behind Art in the Box, it is a very straight forward event to organise, and one that could be hugely effective in raising much needed funds.  Not only will ‘Art in the Box’ bring art into the countryside but it would also encourage people from towns and cities to venture into the country too.”
