All proceeds from THE FETE will be going to the following charities, supporting the local and national artistic community: 1) The Forest; An active community center in Edinburgh completely reliant on volunteer work; has offered free exhibition and performance space all-year round for the last 10 years. This year the charity which sponsored the cost of their building filed for bankruptcy, leaving the Forest Organisation to fend for themselves. They are now attempting to raise the money to buy back their home directly from the bailiffs.
