Graffle again!

In my inbox today....

"Graffle 2 – The Urban Art Raffle

Hopefully you will remember Graffle last Christmas, where the urban art community raised over £20,000 raffling their work for children’s charities. This summer Graffle will be back bigger and better than before, raising money for three children’s charities that support the life cycle of a young person.

This time:

- Each artist is donating an original piece of work.
- There will be exhibitions of the work in both London and Bristol (full details tbc).

- The artwork will be raffled with tickets sold for £10 each through www.graffle.co.uk

- Everybody stands an equal chance of winning an amazing piece of art.
- The money raised will be split equally between three charities that support the life cycle of a young person (see below).

There's nothing on the website as yet - but you can sign up and they'll tell you when tickets go on sale. It's a damn good cause - and I know people who won things from it last time. I used to work with Richard House and they are excellent.... Can't wait for this - the chance to get amazing art for £10 *and* raise money for excellent charities....
