In case you didn't know.. Artists in the MBA (Malmö  Basement Artists) group are putting the word out for submissions for this years charity art auction event in October as part of Breast Awareness Month. This year they are looking for an even bigger venue. Contact Ciara Wharton for further information Tel 0734 322910 or ciara@ciarawharton.com

MBA group 2011. 

The Malmö Basement Artists are a Non-Profit group of International and Swedish Artists who meet once a week to exchange ideas and foster creativity. Anything goes, all mediums explored, guidance is given and exploration of talent is encouraged. They never work on the same subject matter but work independently. It is the diversity of such a group that helps them evolve and push the boundaries of their comfort zone.

2010  Art Auction raised public awareness and 30,650kr for Schizofreniförbundet Association  Malmö 

2011  First Public Art auction in Moriska Paviljongen Folkets Park raised 37,792kr for Bröstcancerfonden. The 2011 event involved the 13 strong MBA group and local artists along with international submissions from Italy, Switzerland, France and South Africa.
