Why are we fundraising?
Our wonderful gallery, the Llewellyn Alexander, closed in 2018 when the owners took their well earned retirement. So for the first time in 23 years we haven’t had our annual London show. We love having the work of our members up on the walls with a gallery full of cat lovers come to enjoy the show. So we are raising funds to help us host our own London shows.
We have a fundraising section of our online gallery with some lovely feline fine art donated by our members. All of these are selling for less than their normal price, so you get a bargain, and all the proceeds go to the exhibition fund. When we have online gallery shows 25% of sales will go into our exhibition fund.

Regional Shows
But it’s not just our annual London show we’re raising funds for. We are also planning other regional shows in the future, as well as online shows in our gallery. The online gallery allows members from all over the UK as well as our international members to take part in a S.O.F.A. show.
So we have started an exhibition fund and are looking at different ways to raise the funds we need to host our own shows. We ran a crowdfunding campaign to start the exhibition fund off, thank you to all those who donated. We had our first online show this summer and it was very successful. A percentage of the sales from the show go to the exhibition fund. Now in the run up to Christmas we’ll have some lovely feline fine art donated by our members available in our shop. All of these are selling for less than their normal price, so you get a bargain, and all the proceeds go to the exhibition fund.
