A Letter in MIND
The National Brain Appeal’s art fundraiser, A Letter in Mind, is once again inviting artists to get creative on an envelope. The fundraiser is now in its eighth year, and includes work by unknown artists, as well as high-profile artists, such as Chris Riddell, Mark Entwistle and Chantal Joffe, as well as actors, presenters and musicians, including Andrew Marr, Terry Hall, and Dame Zandra Rhodes. All artwork will be exhibited anonymously, priced identically at £85. The identity of the artists will only be revealed at the end of the show once the artwork has sold. The exhibition will take place online from November 4 to 7, when there will also be virtual workshops by high-profile artists on behalf of the charity.
Artist, Grayson Perry has taken part several times. ‘Creating an artwork on an envelope for the National Brain Appeal’s A Letter in Mind exhibition,’ he writes, ‘is a simple and wonderful way to show your support for the NHS. The charity injects an air of mystery and fun into the event, with the artist behind each piece remaining anonymous until their work is sold. It is also accessible, with all pieces priced identically at £85, and the money raised going towards helping people with neurological conditions and supporting vital projects at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.’ For more details and to register go to https://www.nationalbrainappeal.org/get-involved/a-letter-in-mind
