Here’s some information for your diaries on the Dia de los Muertos exhibition and auction; raising funds for the charity from the sale of artwork made by a group of invited artists, and based on the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ festival.

As you can see from the list of artists involved, mine will probably be a little more affordable than the rest.

Exhibition dates - 27th October to the 1st November 11.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m at [1] The Proud Gallery, Camden

Artwork available to buy via the [2] [3] Mencap website, from the exhibition or by auction at Bonhams, Knightsbridge on 11th November

Other artists exhibiting include -  Craigie Aitchison, Tracey Emin, Gillian Ayres OBE, Martin Parr, David Birkin, Matthew Williamson, John Keane, Hilary Simon, Roberto Gonzalez Fernandez (RGF + DDT), Carlos Diez Bustos, David Trullo and Stephen Wright

Should be a wide range of interpretations on the theme, so worth a look even if you can’t afford to buy…
