Charity Art Project - Looking for Artists Jul 27, 12, 6:35 a.m.

Gallery of Mo are looking for artists to help out with a project we’ve got running this October and November time for Movember (Prostate and Testicular Cancer Charities).

We started it last year and were shocked by its success. To encourage donations to our Movember team we offered to illustrate everyone who donated with the addition of a moustache.

Last year we managed to raise over £5000 and illustrated 189 portraits with just 20 artists on board. Because we did so well the actual Movember team got in touch with us and this year have requested we do the project on a more national scale with their helps and support. They’ve also offered to set up a launch party and exhibition in Leeds (U.K) showing off the work we produce and the artists who take part.

If you’re interested in being one of the artists who helps illustrate donators please visit our site.

You can do as little or as many portraits you like and in any medium or style you want. We’ve launched a microsite this year to get artists signing up and offering to help. We’ve started early because we know how busy people can get during the end of the year.

If you’re interested in helping please could you fill in the “Count me in” form on this site www.galleryofmo.co.uk

You can also see last years portraits here :www.galleryofmo.co.uk/2011

So far we've had 92 artists signed up to help! Let's see if we can hit 100 artist helping by the end of today!

Movember - Gallery of Mo Nov 15, 11, 8:13 a.m.

Hi all.

This Movember my companies set up a team website called "Gallery of Mo" www.galleryofmo.co.uk. Every person that donates to our team gets a portrait illustrated of themselves with the addition of a tash.

We're hoping it'll spread the word and also encourage donations. We've had some brilliant illustrators offer to help including Stan Chow, McBess, Despau, Lerms etc.

I was wondering if there are any illustrators/artists out their who would like to help illustrate portraits.

Also if anyone does want a portrait please visit the site and Donate to our team.

If you're interested in helping please e-mail me

We're hoping to raise over £3000. We're almost on £2000. All money raised goes to the Movember charity and it's there to fund the work of the Prostate Cancer Charity and Men's Health.

Cheers

Adam
