Want to get involved? It's time to make your mark on hearts everywhere.
Once you have been invited you can join the anonymous heART project by donating your artwork to a cause that saves lives.

Learn more about the anonymous heART project and what’s involved
Our anonymous heART project is carefully curated by our Campaigns Manager, focusing on the styles and genres that resonate with our buyers. Artists are selected and invited to participate. Since we hold only one auction each year, we ensure the content remains fresh and relevant, offering a variety of artwork for bidding.
No, we want to celebrate your talent without constraining it to a theme. We believe in letting you, the experts, unleash your creativity and produce something truly unique.
Absolutely anything! If your artwork doesn’t fit on the postcard, you can create it on a separate piece of card and attach it. For non-attachable pieces (like sculptures or needlework), please create your work in the same size (A5 – 148mm x 210mm) and send it along with the signed and completed card.
We’ve sent a few postcards, to allow room for error. However, if you’re able to create more than one, we would be delighted to receive them.
The final deadline is 1st July 2025. However, we encourage you to submit your artwork sooner to give us ample time to have it professionally photographed, catalogued, and uploaded for the auction.
This year’s auction will be hosted on eBay from 31st October to 9th November 2025. We use eBay because it allows us to reach a global audience, making it easier for us to post and track items using their Global Shipping Programme.
Yes, we’ll publish a list of contributors a couple of weeks before the auction begins.
Check back here in the future to find out whether we will be exhibiting the artwork.

“I’ve donated artwork to the anonymous heART project for a number of years. The whole process is super easy, the team are really efficient and approachable and genuinely grateful and supportive. I’ll continue to contribute to this amazing project. It’s a brilliant way of reaching people to highlight the charity and as an Artist it feels super important to me to use my Art to help raise money to support the research they do.”
