The Chelsea Academy Foundation is delighted to announce that the postcard art auction held on Thursday 22nd June at Lots Road Auctions raised over £3,500. It was a wonderful evening which celebrated the work of our students and other talented local artists. Thank you to our sponsors – Elior Catering and Martin & Co Sales and Lettings – and to Lots Road Auctions for helping to organise and host the event. Thank you to Sir Alan Parker for helping to curate the artwork and donating postcards himself. Also a big thank you to our parent helpers who ensured that everything ran smoothly on the night. Finally the event would not have been possible without our amazing artists submitting postcards and our guests who had lots of fun bidding! We have received so much positive feedback from the event that we plan to run another one next year.
All the money raised will help:
- Give students access to art resources such as large scale canvasses, top of the range pigmented paint, and materials and resources for 3D sculptural work,
- Support the Chelsea Academy annual drama production to purchase set material and costumes,
- Support the Music department in purchasing new musical instruments to ensure students are able to choose from a range of instruments that are in excellent condition.
