Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on Oct 28, 2008 11:04:32 GMT 1, Hello All,
Many long standing members will remember that in April 2007 I organised a very successful charity silent art auction in London in aid of a registered charity of which I am trustee - The Oli Bennett Charitable Trust. The success was down in huge part to the generosity of artists and collectors on here, for which the charity is extremely grateful.
The trust was set up in the name of an old friend, Oli Bennett, who was tragically killed in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001. The aims of the trust are to provide grant funding and mentoring support for young people, many of whom are from very underprivileged backgrounds, who want to get a start in life and form their own business. Over the years the trust has helped numerous young business people including a potter, a cake maker, a flooring and maintenance consultant, a wood recycler and many others.
Somewhat foolishly I have now volunteered to repeat the event which will be in April/May 2009. I know this seems a long way off but the planning for the event has already started.
So again I am asking the members of this forum for their help in making this event a success again. We raised just under ยฃ8,000 for the charity last time and had donations from a huge number of artists - Faile, Invader, Charming Baker, Dan Baldwin, Adam Koukadakis, Cept, Static and many many others. So if any of the artists on here would like to donate either again or for the first time please drop me a pm and I will give you all the details. Closer to the time I will be letting you all know about the details of the event so that you can come along, share some booze and maybe bid on the some of the work for sale.
As work arrives I will publish it on the flickr site (where you can see all the pieces donated last time) and will keep you updated on this thread.

In the meantime full details of the charity, it's objectives, trustees and status can be found at:
www.olibennett.org.uk
Thanks for reading.

Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on Dec 11, 2008 11:26:17 GMT 1, A much overdue update about this event.
The date for the sale has been fixed for 14 May 2008. It will be an all ticket event with tickets costing ยฃ25 per person, however with each ticket you will get a voucher worth ยฃ25 to spend on the silent auction. Booze, nibbles and entertainment all included.
We are really hoping to attract some big name donations. Last year we had pieces in the auction by faile, nick walker, Gilbert and George, Shepard Fairey, Charming baker and numerous others.
You will be able to preview all the auction lots on the charities flickr site before the event. We will also produce a catalogue for the event. Last year the catalogue was distributed in black and white because we were quoted over ยฃ10 per catalogue for a colour version. If there are any printers on here who would like to help out that would be most appreciated.
All donations very gratefully received. Anyone donating a piece to the auction will get a complimentary ticket to the event and a fuzzy warm feeling inside from doing something good for charity. Deadline for donations has now been set for 27 March 2009 to give time for photography and catalogue production to be undertaken.
Needless to say any press contacts will be gratefully received.

McNuts, Agreed! Pez has PM.
Pez, I was very fortunate at the last event and whilst I have accumulated a bunch of Banksys over the last few years, that Faile Dog remains my most prized print! I hope I can give a little back this time around...

Charity Art Auction GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, by pezlow on Dec 11, 2008 20:30:07 GMT 1, Well the format will be slightly different to last year but basically you have a big whiteboard where the numbers of all the lots are written up. You submit your bids to the auctioneer (i.e. me) and I write up the current winning bid against the lot number. The auctions all finish at the same time. The highest winning bidder get the piece - pays for it (cash or cheque) and takes it home that evening. Commission bids will also be accepted.
