A team of employees from Bristol law firm TLT are holding a charity art exhibition to raise money for the Prince's Trust.

The team is taking part in the Million Makers challenge, a national competition to raise £1 million for the charity.

Bristol artists will be displaying and selling their artwork at the firm's office at 1, Redcliff Street from 6pm today.

The exhibition, organised by Team Shine and called Time To Shine – An Evening Of Art, will include photography, professional paintings and greeting cards and will feature artists who have been funded by the Prince's Trust.

All of the artists have agreed to donate a percentage of their sales on the night to the charity.

Artist Emily Petherick received financial and advisory support from the charity to set up her glass business. She said: "I am delighted to have been asked to show my work at the exhibition. The Prince's Trust has been a huge support to me – both personally and professionally."

The art exhibition is sponsored by Smith & Williamson and made possible by The Art Warehouse Limited and Framing Factory and Arts & Business.

The Prince's Trust Million Makers competition challenges teams of employees to turn an initial investment of £1,500 into a profit of at least £10,000. TLT has two teams participating in the challenge, which have raised more than £3,500 since the challenge started in July 2009.

The event is free to attend but a donation of £5 is recommended.
