This is an extraordinary achievement and will have an enormous positive impact on the work of Article 25, desinging and building health centres, schools and homes for some of the poorest people on earth. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the success of the evening, we at Article 25 are looking forward to running similar events in 2010 to continue generating enthusiasm for the cause.

From some of our donors...

“Article 25 carries out crucial work ensuring that the world’s poorest people have adequate shelter and housing. I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this cause by donating to the Art for Architecture auction and wish the charity every success.” (Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, donor)

“Architecture is a channel towards the opportunity of contributing to society. Architects should engage with humanity, the global environment and culture.” (Tadao Ando, donor)

From our CEO, Dr Victoria Harris...

“What a great end to a great year at Article 25, and we couldn’t be more grateful to all our donating artists and architects, as well as for the generosity of our supporters on the night. Rest assured the funds raised will make an overwhelming difference to the people who need it the most.”

Finally, we would like to say a huge thank you to all those people who supported this event with their time, skills and experience, and of course all those who took home some very impressive pieces on the night. Particular thanks goes to our sponsors, The Art Group, and our supporting partner, Red Box.
