RCA secret style sale tonight

Apologies for the late notice but I have only just got wind of an RCA secret style sale tonight in aid of the Charity "Anno's Africa".  A real shame as if I'd known earlier I might have gone along.  Anyone in central london who fancies popping along all the details below.  I'm sure it will be worth going to as there are some good artists being sold including Jamie Shovlin and Jane & Louise Wilson.

All details below and here




Anno's Africa Charity Art Evening @ Sketch | Thursday, 9 Sept | 7-9pm


Dear Friends,

You are warmly invited to join us for free drinks and music at the ANNO'S AFRICA charity art evening this Thursday, 9th September from 7-9pm in the Parlour Room at Sketch, 9 Conduit Street, London W1.

We have received over 100 small works on paper generously donated by visual artists, architects, writers, actors, film makers and musicians which will be sold at the event. Below is a list of some of the contributors.

In keeping with the Royal College of Art's annual postcard sale, works are to be made available for just £45 with artists names remaining anonymous until sold. Receipts will be drawn from a hat at 9pm on Thursday evening and people will be invited to choose a work in the order in which their number is called. Alternatively, individual works may be purchased from 7pm on the night for a "Buy It Now" price of £500. All proceeds to benefit the ANNO'S AFRICA arts programme in Nairobi.

ANNO'S AFRICA is an arts educational charity set up by my stepmother Bee Gilbert in memory of my brother Anno Birkin. The charity brings facilities, workshops and teacher training programmes to orphans and vulnerable children living in some of the poorest and most deprived slums in Africa. The aim is to instil confidence by nurturing creative development and offering alternative qualifications to those who cannot afford school.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday evening.

Very best wishes,
David Birkin
