With concerts, festivals, music tours and other live productions cancelled since the beginning of the year, their core concern was for the 600,000 set designers, sound engineers, lighting technicians etc - who have no hope of work for the foreseeable future and who are experiencing deep financial and emotional distress. But #MakeItBlue’s fundraising initiative will also benefit people from all walks of life who are struggling with mental health issues right now – the auction proceeds will be donated to Samaritans and also to Stagehand – the Production Services Association Welfare and Benevolent Fund.

We’ve donated one of our new editions: ‘Hummingbird’ by Bench Allen: a 7 Colour Screenprint on Khadi Rough Cotton Rag, valued at £495. The online secret sealed bid auction will take place on 4th December.
