ART FOR NOW, ART FOR GOOD

5 April - 5 August 2020

In April 2020 The Artsphere launched with our first initiative, Art for Now. Art for Good. We brought together emerging artists from all over the world to raise money and awareness for Gingerbread, the UK’s leading national charity working with single parent families, a social group that has been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. Works by Alexandra Grounds, Riikka Hyvönen, and Lily Lewis among others were exhibited via our Instagram platform, with sales being made through DM.

For each work sold during this initiative, 60% of the sales went to the artist, and 40% went to Gingerbread. The idea to support Gingerbread stemmed from countless accounts of the devastating impact of lockdown on single mothers financially and mentally, and seeing it as an opportunity to help the larger community around them.
