"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....

Graffle!

ok, next big and exciting thing - the graffle!

You buy a ticket for £5. You could win art by banksy, Nick Walker, Jamie Reid, Xenz, Dicy, Motorboy, yaka and many many more...... and if you don't (and if you do) all proceeds go to Bristol children's charities.

They're having an opening party at Bridewell tomorrow (Friday 14th Dec) at the 12 Days of Xmas show, 8-10pm. Then you can buy tickets from selected outlets until the draw on 18th January at Guerilla Gallery.

Sounds pretty fab to me, but don't take my word for it, check the website: www.graffle.co.uk and spread the word!
