The anonymous heART project

Well-known artists, musicians and celebrities join together in the anonymous heART project – where art saves hearts.

Since 2018, over 3,500 pieces of art have been created by anonymous artists raising over £515,000 to fund vital research.

Every year, hundreds of pieces are crafted onto A5 postcards and auctioned anonymously, with the artists’ names only being revealed once the auction closes. This element of mystery means you can have your mini masterpiece by a famous artist, without the usual price tag.
Each piece holds the power to change lives, and every bid brings us one step closer to healthier hearts across the UK.

Join us in 2026 for our 9th anonymous heART project.
