So I managed to get two things finished this week for Art V Cancer.

The first one was the long overdue ‘thank you’ to all those who exhibited work at our ‘Live Long & Prosper’ Exhibition in Nov last year - 38 thank you cards went in the post. 

Then I managed to calculate our donation for the period of Nov 12 - Jan 13 and this came to a lovely sum of £1280/$1983 bringing the total YOU have raised for Art V Cancer to a magnificent £8157/$12638!

Who knew that when we set out along this path we would be thinking about the real possibility of raising £10,000 for Cancer Charities.
I remember when I set out to sell some of Raid71’s prints that it would be awesome to sell just a couple and raise a little bit of money for CALLM (Caring for Adults with Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma). And now we are here with the help of so many talented artists raising thousands of pounds for not only CALLM but CLIC Sargent (Children & Young People with Cancer), Prostate Cancer UK, The Breast Cancer Campaign and Cancer Research UK.

But I am equally proud of the fact that we not only raise money for Cancer Charities; Art V Cancer sells limited edition prints that YOU want to buy, frame and put on your wall. So it is you and the support from artists out there on social networking sites that keeps Art V Cancer moving along.

So where are we moving along to in 2013? Lots of exciting things hoped for and planned. Over the next week I plan to take detailed photographs of the prints on Art V Cancer and then give the website a little bit of an update adding new prints in the process. And remember we are always open to submissions from artists. So contact me julia@raid71.com if you want to submit. We appreciate the time artists take to support Art V Cancer. 

Well my next update will probably be about my poor photography skills.. fingers crossed it won’t be! And hopefully we will be nearer that £10,000 fund-raising mark. To do this we need to raise £1843 for the next donation in May 2013. Can we do it? Well with your help - we will try!

VALENTINES DAY is here again soon and due to enquiries throughout the year for our ‘Building Bridges, not Empires’ print we have decided to BRING BACK our Valentines Promotion Offer. To receive this highly sought after and pretty cool FREE Gift print again all you have to do is purchase a print from Art V Cancer by February 15th 2013 and we will post both prints out to you.

We have several prints that may tickle your loved one’s fancy including ‘I love you to the moon and back’, ‘My darling we made it’, ‘My Heart’ and ‘Cosmic Kiss’ so go spread the love as they say..

More donations that YOU helped to raise.

Yes, I have finally got round to posting the donation certificates/letters from our most recent donation in Nov 2012! In total this donation came to £2827.30/$4536.26 as a result of sales and our first ever Exhibition for the last few months of the year. Art V Cancer’s grand total for the whole year stands at £6877/$10974. So considering I didn’t even know what twitter and tumblr was a year ago - I think you all have helped make something work by buying some pretty cool limited edition prints and spreading the word and helping me along this little journey. So thank you.

I hope over the next year we can build on what we have started and bring some more fantastic limited edition prints from lots of exciting artists and throw in a few surprises along the way too. Dare I say, we may have another themed Exhibition as well…

For the immediate couple of months though we hope to update the website with more detailed photo’s of the prints, throw in a few more prints, make another donation in February and of course continue to raise some more money. Thanks again all of you.
