Arc Axminster – Enter our Christmas Card Design Competition !
Need something to do in August ? Read on…
Over the last few years we have had highly talented local people who have very generously contributed artwork so that we can make Christmas cards that allow us to raise funds for arc. Christmas cards are a great way to fundraise and this year we want to reach out to the wider community to harvest more of the creative talents that are out there.
Get the whole family into a creative mood and help arc to raise much needed funds. We need your creative talents in order to design a set of Christmas cards to sell in the Friends of Arc shop and at other venues around town.
