An Evening Of Art

Reside are extremely proud to be sponsoring The Prince’s Trust’s ‘Evening of Art’ for the second time. 2011’s inaugural event exceeded all expectations by raising more than £74,000 on the night, with all of the proceeds invested directly into supporting disadvantaged young people in the region.

This year’s Evening of Art is being staged at The Assembly Rooms in Bath on Thursday December 5th. It will feature a silk screen and photo collage of Venice by Sir Peter Blake – best known for his Sgt Pepper album cover – as well as works by illustrator Sir Quentin Blake, Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, Nick Park of Wallace and Gromit fame and cartoonist Gerald Scarfe.

The aim is to raise more than £70,000 for disadvantaged young people in the South West by auctioning these artworks. The auction is on an invite-only basis but anyone can bid for works online. For more details and information on how to bid for any of the items, click here to visit the Prince’s Trust website.

Local artist Peter Brown, affectionately known as ‘Pete the Street’, has donated work, along with Prince’s Trust founder HRH The Prince of Wales.

Online bidding will close at 12 noon on December 5th to make way for the live auction in the evening, conducted by Christies’ contemporary art expert Tom Best. Guests at the event will be given touch-screen tablets to use for a silent auction.

We at Reside hope that the wonderful works of art which have been donated this year will raise the bar even higher than in 2011, helping to support the invaluable achievements of The Prince’s Trust. We encourage anybody who wishes to support the Prince’s Trust to bid generously.

Which painting can you see adorning your living room wall? We’d like to know what you would bid on, so get in touch with us via Facebook or Twitter and we might even let you know our personal favourites!

  Even though we didn’t end up renting a place through Reside, Chris and Lisa were so incredibly personable, helpful and welcoming.

Would highly recommend and will be heading there when ready to buy. 🎉

  The team at Reside could not have done more for me.  They supported me throughout the whole process when at times I probably drove them mad. I am now in a lovely home and it’s very much thanks to Lisa and Emma.

  My experience with Chris Gray was just perfect. An incredibly friendly individual that really did go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. The whole experience was genuinely fun which says a lot for a process that can often be stressful! Don’t see myself moving again anytime soon but if I was to, I’d hope it’d be Chris helping me out again!

  It has been a pleasure to have been able to do business with Reside Bath. Their people are highly efficient and utterly charming with it. I imagine that they can have few peers. I can recommend Reside Bath without reservation.

  Reside were my letting agents for five years and were fantastic. They always looked after me and my tenants and made renting my flat stress free. I’d recommend them as the first choice for letting. I then marketed my flat for sale with them and they were great again. It was a frustrating and long process through no fault of Reside or Lisa, my agent. Lisa kept me informed throughout and was a good listener when things got tough. Thanks for getting me there! Claire

  Had great service from Lisa and the team at Reside, while exploring properties in Bath. We were delighted with the flat we found. The process from viewing to moving in was extremely smooth, with Lisa resolving any queries at pace along the way.

  Lisa at Reside has been absolutely amazing - we had a difficult rental search and she did everything she could to help us, finding us a wonderful flat. Recommend her and the team wholeheartedly!

  Hello, and happy whatever day it is to you when you are reading this! ✨

My move to my new letting property with Reside was seamless. From the viewing, financials, help, and guidance, everything went through kindly, quickly, and with helpful attention. Chris, was especially helpful and I honestly felt prioritised as he could see how much the move meant to me due to being a dog owner. @Chris thank you again for everything, it really is much appreciated. ✨

Reside are instantly contactable and I cannot recommend them enough. I am a landlord myself, and I know the importance of such attention to detail and kindness. ✨

10 out of 10, cannot recommend enough! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

  I contacted Lisa at Reside last week and arranged rental viewings in Bath.  It was a seamless process from beginning to end.  Lisa was extremely helpful and informative about the city and if I hadn't had an offer accepted on a purchase a few days later, would certainly have taken one of the properties she showed.  Lisa was a breath of fresh air in addition to being professional and very knowledgeable about the local market.  I can't recommend Reside or Lisa more strongly.
