Art for Youth London is a hugely popular art exhibition, which has directly raised £1.4 million for the National youth work charity UK Youth.
For over 30 years, this annual event has consistently provided quality artwork at affordable prices, giving art enthusiasts the opportunity to buy pieces by talented contemporary artists. Buyers have the added satisfaction in knowing that their purchases have not only changed the lives of thousands of young people, they have also given hundreds of artists the chance to exhibit and sell their oil paintings, watercolours, sculptures, ceramics, photographs and jewellery.
Over 1,000 works of art, valued from £50 to £6,000, are offered for sale by approximately 140 artists, who donate 35% of their sales to the charity. Funds are also raised through two live auctions, a silent auction, a raffle and mystery postcards selling for £35.
