The Summer Auction comprises 454 limited edition postcard sized artworks from over 165 outstanding contemporary artists who have generously donated their work. The line up includes conceptual artist Anish Kapoor, Jordan Wolfson whose enigmatic, and at times provocative, work investigates the darker side of the human condition. Art historian and instigator of The African Diva Project, Margaret Rose Vendryes, has set out to celebrate and connect Black female singers with their ancestorial roots; Shezad Dawood whose multi-media works are inspired by his varied cultural heritage, revered urban contemporary artist Hush, Marina Adams whose work explores colour form and movement and Rana Begum whose work blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture through  her refined language of Minimalist abstraction. 

The Cause

The Hepatitis C Trust have packed a massive amount into the last twenty years. The Trust has prided itself on its innovative approach to charity work. As well as building the Art on a Postcard brand as a fundraising tool, they have set out to make themselves obsolete by campaigning to eliminate hepatitis C by 2030. In addition to playing a huge part in getting the NHS England to announce a unique elimination deal in 2019, The Trust played its part in getting 194 countries to sign up to elimination by 2030.
