18 – 23 September 2017 “Hope” Canvas Initiative and artWEEK Exhibition in support of Central London Samaritans


Be part of creating artwork for charity. The “Hope” Canvas Initiative is challenging artists to see how quickly they can create an artwork for sale on a canvas 20cm×20cm, with the theme of “Hope.” Any medium can be used as long as it is completely dry. The canvas will be sold during the artWEEK Exhibition in support of Central London Samaritans.
