Exhibitions & Art, Art Fair.
Original artworks by Dame Zandra Rhodes, Jo Brand and Andrew Marr will be available to buy for just u00a385 at NHS hospital charity art exhibition. The National Brain Appeal's A Letter in Mind 'Everyday Things' is due to take place at the Oxo Gallery on London's South Bank from 5 to 8 November, 11am to 6pm, with a preview day on Wednesday 4 November. Admission is free. This year will be the largest exhibition to date with over 400 unique artworks available to purchase. Information about how to book to view the artworks at the gallery is at aletterinmind.org. There will be timed slots of 45 minutes with a maximum of 15 people for each slot. The artworks can also be viewed online from 11am on Wednesday 4 November. Sales of artworks will be via the charity's online gallery, opening at 11am on Thursday 5 November. All artworks will be exhibited anonymously, priced identically at u00a385. The identity of the artist is revealed at the end of the exhibition, once the artwork has sold. Proceeds will go towards supporting vital projects at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, where staff have been working under enormous pressure responding to the Covid-19 crisis. The theme for this year's A Letter in Mind is 'Everyday Things', reflecting on how life has become simpler during lockdown. Designer Dame Zandra Rhodes is taking part alongside artists Chantal Joffe, Ishbel Myerscough, Morag Myerscough, Mark Dion, Gill Rocca and Mark Entwisle; illustrators Chris Riddell, Tim Hopgood, Polly Dunbar, Paul Thurlby, Ann Kiernan and Bethan Woollvin; architects Laurie Chetwood, Amin Taha and Andrew Grant; comedian and presenter Jo Brand; journalist and presenter Andrew Marr; actors Kevin Eldon, Sophie Thompson, Joanna David and Phyllida Law; and musicians Terry Hall, Justin Robertson and Dave Beer. The exhibition is kindly supported by The Foyle Foundation. If the government guidelines change and we can no longer host this exhibition in person, the exhibition will still go ahead online.
