Ross Eccles UK Book Launch & Westholme School Evening
Thursday 26th February 2009
The Art Decor Gallery, Whalley, held an exclusive evening to celebrate the UK launch of 'Ross - A Journey into Art'.
The launch night turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable affair, where many fans and collectors of Ross's work gathered together to celebrate with the artist, his wife, and the owners of the gallery. A special exhibition of Ross's work is currently on display throughout the gallery, and features many of the original artworks that were presented in the book. Ross chatted eagerly to guests throughout the evening and was happy to sign and personalise copies of the book for all who came.

The Art Decor Gallery and Westholme School held a memorable fundraiser at the gallery last Friday, where Ross was invited to be the special guest and speaker for the evening.
Ross had previously given talks and art lessons to pupils at Westholme, and was delighted to be able to auction one of his paintings (that he had created while working with the pupils) in order to help raise funds for the school.
Ross also spoke to gathered guests about his theories on education and the importance of thinking outside the box! Altogether the evening was a great success and raised £2K for Westholme School.
A special thanks to Chris and Julie McCabe at the Art Decor Whalley for their part in making both evenings a tremendous success for all involved! The Ross Eccles exhibition at the Art Decor Gallery, Whalley runs throughout March. For more information please visit www.artdecorwhalley.co.uk
