ART lovers have snapped up work by local artists at a charity auction.

The event, at the White Bear, in Barrowford, was organised by local artist Sarah Haworth, who is raising money for mental health charity Mind.

Sarah, 24, who also works at the White Bear, is going on a trek in Nepal for the charity later this year with colleague Lorna Berry, 29. They hope to raise £5,200 and held the auction yesterday to help them reach the target.

Paintings, sculptures, ceramics and photographs were donated by local artists for sale. More work by the artists involved was on display at the pub.
