Top Secret Art Project, an exciting exhibition and auction of original A5 sized art produced by celebrities, professional and amateur artists will raise funds for the Martlets Hospice in Hove.
The project is top-secret in that the artists have signed the back of their work and who has produced which piece of art will not be revealed until after the online auction.
There are almost 300 pieces of art in all manner of styles and mediums including oils, watercolours, photographs and collages. An eclectic mixture of art and something for all artistic tastes.
David Cameron, Frank Skinner, Julian Clary, Alan Titchmarsh, Tony Robinson and Grayson Perry are some of the celebrities who have produced a piece of art. Their contributions will be displayed alongside pieces by professional and amateur artists, all using their artistic talent to raise money for Martlets Hospice.
All artwork will be displayed in a one day exhibition which will take place at the Unitarian Church, New Road, Brighton today, on Sunday, October 11 from 2.30pm – 6.00pm.
Entry to the exhibition is free of charge and everyone is welcome. Go along, see the exhibition and try to guess who produced which piece.
The art will then be auctioned online on eBay from till October 15, and will also be available on the Marlets website, www.themartlets.org.uk/topsecretart
Elizabeth Baxter, Top Secret Art Project organiser, said: “A list of all the names of who has produced a piece of art will be available, both at the exhibition and online, but who created which piece will remain top secret until the end of the online auction. So it’s all down to the bidders – they could win a piece by a celebrity or one by a local amateur artist, however we hope that they will bid generously on the art that appeals to them and win something they will love. Thanks to our main sponsors, Southern Railway, all the costs of the Top Secret Art Project are covered so all the proceeds from the sale of the art will go to fund our patient care.”
