ART AUCTION

art auction FUTURE DREAMS

Future Dreams will host its first-ever online art auction and exhibition this November to raise much-needed funds. With photographs and artworks from renowned artists, including Simon Emmett, The Connor Brothers, Sally Hewett, Gideon Rubin, Céline Boden, Rob Unett and Adebayo Bolaji, the exhibition is being held in partnership with Moyosa Media, The Arts Club, Sky Arts and estate agent TK International.

We are excited to present the stunning virtual exhibition, which has come about thanks to the generosity of the artistic community. Many of the artists and photographers who have donated work have a strong, personal connection to the work of Future Dreams or with breast cancer. Some are survivors themselves, while others have been affected by the breast cancer journeys of loved ones.

‘Having witnessed the effects of breast cancer first hand, I did not hesitate to contribute to a charity as committed as Future Dreams, it seems like the least one could do to help. This donation is dedicated to the memory of a close relation that lost her battle to cancer.’ Artist Céline Boden

Art has the power to communicate so much. It can transport you back to somewhere in the past or into an unknown, dreamed future. It can be a souvenir or memory of a particular time in your life, or an inspirational image that brings you hope and joy. You live with art, growing together, journeying from the present into the future. Art is both personal and universal, and all art has the power to inspire creativity, hope and dreams of the future.

Curated by Pernilla Holmes and Amelie von Wedel of The Arts Club – the historic members’ club based in Mayfair, London – the exhibition will include a selection of photographs, paintings and prints that have been so generously donated.

The online exhibition will be hosted by
