Hello fellow citizens of UAA.

I'm part of BombSquad a community arts organisation based in York. We're organising a charity art auction / event in October raising funds for York Food Bank, see below.

If any of you have links into other artists who might be willing to donate an artwork please DM me, we're looking for original artworks ideally.

I hope some of you will be able to come along to the event. If you can't, our auction partner Tennant's will be hosting an online timed auction for the event that anyone will be able to bid on, worldwide.

BombSquad present Totally Hammered, an unconventional charity art auction. Amid a cost of living crisis, Totally Hammered brings together artists from the street and contemporary art worlds to raise urgently-needed funds for York Food Bank.

The event will commence at 7 pm, and there will be DJs, live art, an exhibition of all of the auction lots, full bar, art raffle and a very special guest who will be hosting the event.

Everyone who attends the event will be automatically entered into an audience raffle with a chance to walk away with pieces by Banksy, Grayson Perry, Rowdy, SweetToof and many more!

We have partnered with Tennant's, a Yorkshire-based auction house that will host the online timed auction for the event.

We've already amassed an impressive roster of artists' works that have been pledged to the auction, including:

Phlegm, SweetToof, Rowdy, Gavin Turk, Hege Skundberg, Dan Cimmermann, Jo Peel, Prefab, Banksy, Jimmy Cauty, LushSux, Clown Skateboards, Mul, Al Diaz, Ben Slow, Jess Wilson, The London Police, Hackney Dave, Ange Bell, Harland Miller, Dotmasters, Carl Cashman, FokaWolf, Kunstrasen, Les Enfants Terribles, Carrie Reichardt, John Pedder, Dan Baldwin, Pahnl, Toaster and Bortusk Leer.

So come along for the party, and bid if you want to!

Right, based in London, but would like to support. Should I buy a ticket and not attend?

[bombsquad]

We'd rather people attend the event, if they buy a ticket.
You can bid on auction lots from anywhere in the world once the online timed auction launches if you want to support the event.
I will post details here once it's online.
