The Fairwinds Fine Art Exhibition is returning to Cowes Yacht Haven on the Isle of Wight from May 1 to 4, featuring works by 13 local artists. Entry is free, and all proceeds will support the Andrew Cassell Foundation, the Ring Daisy Bus, and Mountbatten Isle of Wight. The exhibition was inspired by the late John Garlick, a sailor and art enthusiast, and is continued by his family and artist Peter Allen.
This event matters because it blends community engagement with fundraising for vital local services, including disabled sailing and patient support. It also honors John Garlick's legacy by fostering the Island's artist community and encouraging charitable giving, demonstrating how art can drive social impact at a local level.
