We’re thrilled to announce our major fundraising exhibition and auction in partnership with Sotheby’s. Leading artists including our Patrons Grayson Perry, Jenny Saville and Joanna Vestey, and artists including Veronica Ryan and Maggi Hambling are amongst those who have donated works for an exhibition at Sotheby’s in London to support AT The Bus. ‘Art for AT The Bus’ will include over 30 works to be exhibited at Sotheby’s New Bond Street gallery from 29 April to 7 May 2024. The works will be sold via online auction, powered by Artsy, and open for bidding from 29 April till 5pm on 10 May 2024. Proceeds will go to AT The Bus, enabling us to support more children and young people in need.
Juli Beattie, AT The Bus Founder and Joint CEO, said: “On behalf of everyone AT The Bus, I would like to thank the artists and Sotheby’s for their huge generosity and kindness enabling this auction to take place. The charity’s premise is in art’s therapeutic power. Each one of the artists who have donated work believes in the transformative work we do with young people facing challenges in their daily lives.
Our hope is to share our methodology and support to many more schools. We currently work with over 200 children each week. The money raised by this auction will help us sustain our current activity and build our future mobility. We have some extraordinary pieces offered for sale on behalf of AT The Bus – again, thank you to the wonderful artists and to all those who bid.”
Helena Newman, Worldwide Head of Impressionist and Modern Art, Chairman, Sotheby’s Europe said: “It is an immense privilege to be hosting this exhibition at Sotheby’s, showcasing a powerful selection of artworks so generously donated by artists whose voices are integral to the cultural community here in the UK. The charity’s phenomenal work in providing therapeutic and creative mental health support to young people is a heartening reminder of the magical impact that art can truly make on our lives.”
