The aim of Art for Youth is to enable promising artists to show their work and to raise funds for the national youth work charity UK Youth. With over 20 years of successful exhibitions in London, and now with smaller venues such as Yorkshire, The New Forest and Oxford, Art for Youth has given art enthusiasts the chance to buy works from contemporary artists at the beginning of their careers. Now entering its 23rd year, Art for Youth London has so far raised almost £900,000 for UK Youth.
Over 1,000 pieces of art (valued from £100- £3,500) by new and established artists go on display at Art for Youth London. Works include: oils, watercolours, sculpture ceramics, photographs & jewellery. Artists donate 35% of sales and all proceeds from the Raffle, Auction, "Mystery Pictures" and Silent Auction are 100% donations to the charity.
Art for Youth London 2010 will take place at the Royal College of Art, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2EU on 13th/14th October 2010 and is sponsored by AMLIN. Artists are invited to submit work for the selection panel's consideration from April 2010. If you are interested in exhibiting, please contact Caitlin Mavroleon, Chair of the New Artist's Selection Panel, at caitlindavmav@hotmail.com
For all other information please contact Ann Mavroleon at artforyouth@ukyouth.org
New artists are chosen by a selection panel which seeks out fresh, innovative and affordable work. Art for Youth London enables new and upcoming artists to exhibit in a prestigious London gallery alongside more established talent.
The Diana Brooks Prize is awarded annually to an artist aged 35 or under. Many former prize winners, some of whom have gone on to very successful artistic careers, offer a piece of their work for sale as a 100% donation to UK Youth.
