Sydney, Australia — Artworks from the 'Changing Nature 06' Greenpeace exhibition will be auctioned at a Gala Art Auction this evening at The Gallery at Darling Park, Sydney CBD, hosted by ABC radio personality Sarah MacDonald. The exhibition and auction fundraiser aims to deliver the urgent message about the threat of climate change.

Greenpeace events coordinator Rob Nicoll said, "We have some excellent contemporary art that really delivers the message that we need to act on climate change now.”

The art auction kicks off at 7pm and there will be wine, beer, soft drinks and canapes served in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. "We are expecting a great night, with the opportunity for people to take home some excellent contemporary art and help support Greenpeace's climate campaign," Mr Nicoll said.

Tim Goodman of Bonhams & Goodman auctioneers will auction the works. Proceeds of the sales of the 'Changing Nature 06' works will be directed towards Greenpeace's vital campaign work.

In keeping with the Changing Nature theme, artists were asked to base their works on the profound change being imposed on natural places by climate change. Over 60 artists from around Australia have contributed high quality artworks to the art auction using various media and materials, including photography, painting, sculpture and recycled materials.

Contributing artists include Anne-France Fulgence, Mary Shackman, Mark Schaller, Carlos Barrios, Guy Troughton, Constantine Nicholas, Patrick Shirvington, Sandro Nocentini, Alison Coulthurst and James Powditch.

Mr Nicoll said, “The Changing Nature gala art auction and online auction is a fantastic way to contribute to a green and peaceful future by buying generously donated, superb contemporary artworks from established and emerging Australian artists.”

For those that can’t make it on the night, there will also be an Online Auction from 9am, 20 November 2006 to 10pm, 30 November 2006. Visit http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/news-and-events/events/changing-nature for more information.
