An evening of art, charity, and community.
Powderhall Bronze Editions, one of Edinburgh’s fine art galleries, will host an exclusive evening with internationally acclaimed designer Mark Stoddart. This special event will take place on Thursday, 8 August at 6pm, offering an intimate setting to meet the artist and view his latest masterpieces.
This free-to-attend event presents a unique opportunity to meet Mark Stoddart and witness the unveiling of his special edition cast bronze “hippo table” for the first time. Adding to the excitement, Mark Stoddart will host an exclusive raffle at the gallery —open to all guests—with a chance to win the hippo table worth £45,000. Proceeds from the raffle will support Dyslexia Scotland and Dementia Scotland.
For over a year, Mark Stoddart has collaborated with Powderhall Bronze, Hamilton & Inches, Tyrrell Racing, and Sir Jackie Stewart’s charity, Race Against Dementia. Visitors on Thursday evening will also witness the unveiling of a one-of-a-kind bronze sculpture of Sir Jackie Stewart’s iconic F1 Tyrrell 006 car, crafted specifically for this project.
Mark Stoddart is deeply committed to supporting neurodiverse communities worldwide. His notable contributions include funding the construction of the only carbon-neutral, dyslexic, and neurodiverse school in Indonesia through the Bali Dyslexia Foundation. Additionally, he serves as an ambassador for Dyslexia Kenya and has financed the RareGem Talent School, the first neurodiverse school in the country.
The raffle proceeds will support Mark Stoddart’s and Rotary District 1320 – Scotland South’s charitable initiatives, focusing on mental health and neurodiverse causes, including projects like the RareGem Talent School in Kenya.
Mark Stoddart said: “Creating this piece was a journey into the intricate balance of nature, and I’m thrilled to use my artistic talent to contribute to such significant causes through this raffle at Powderhall Bronze Editions on Thursday.”
