The Prize
In conjunction with the award winning Bath Art Fair www.bathartfair.co.uk, it's organiser Alce Harfield (www.alceharfield.com), has donated an original painting to raise much needed funds to support refugees in the Bath area. The prize draw will remain open to entries until 8th October 2024. The prize is an original acrylic painting on canvas (30x30”) is of the legendary Elton John performing Rocket Man in 2023 on the Pyramid stage. Said to be his last ever performance, Elton chose this as his closing song as fireworks exploded around him in front of a packed-to-capacity enrapt Glastonbury crowd. Entitled Rocketman, this has been one of Alce's most popular prints to date, so this is a one-off opportunity to own the actual original.
