An auction of artworks, held last year, raised several thousand dollars that has now been donated as vouchers to the Rural Counselling Service.
The auction was held last September, during the Inverell Art Prize opening night, and raised $4250 for locals affected by the drought.
Peter Squires was the auctioneer on the night.
