I’m delighted to share that the Environment Trust has held another fantastic Secret Art Sale. 234 artists anonymously donated a record making 375 A5 sized artworks to the sale; more than half were sold by lunchtime on the first day, with many visitors queuing for several hours before the doors opened.<\/p>\n

Over \u00a313,000<\/a> was made over two days on 21-22 September, which is a substantial increase from the first Secret Art Sale held by the Trust at the RACC last year. All proceeds benefit the charity’s work in local wildlife and environmental conservation across south west London, in particular supporting their work enabling wildlife corridors.<\/p>\n

Results from last year are covered in my previous blog<\/a> alongside a more in depth look at wildlife corridors and the themes covered in the Secret Art Sale so far.<\/p>\n

I arrived at the event in Parkshot, Richmond, towards the end of the Private View on the first day and was thrilled to see that my own oil painting had already sold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Donations were made by architects, artists, celebrities, students, jewelers and RA members. Wildlife photographer and the Trust’s patron, Gordon Buchanan donated an artwork, as well as another much admired patron, the Gruffalo artist, Axel Scheffler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can view all the revealed artists from the 2017 sale here<\/a>, see if you can spot my contribution!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A close up of all the individual panels displaying the artworks are now available to view on Flikr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m very pleased to have heard from the art collector who bought my painting and revealed they were excited to have it framed and displayed prominently in their home. <\/span><\/p>\n

I look forward to donating another art work next year, I hope you can join us and support a great cause!<\/span><\/p>\n
