The Art Auction

Branding for a charity event to raise money for St Helena Hospice and the new cancer centre at Colchester Hospital. We wanted a playful and energetic identity that was both joyful and humorous, yet served as a reminder for the audience to engage with the event.

Charity Branding

What we did

The Art Auction was a one-night-only charity event to raise money for two local cancer charities. For one-night only in November 2019, the Art Auction took over the contemporary art gallery, Firstsite. We brought together some of the region’s most successful artists, designers and makers. What started as a personal endeavour, soon became a collaborative celebration of our collective loss. Our social media presence focussed on the local artists involved and the people they had lost. The applications included a website, social media profiles, a letterpressed invite for special guests and a printed catalogue. The brand identity gave the event confidence and created a buzz. We may even look to run the event again in 2023!

What the client said

The Art Auction started out as a deeply personal event, but grew into a collaborative and shared effort that raised £11,000 for the charities. We created this playful identity that was flexible, meaningful and memorable; the three conditions that eyespeak strives for in all the work we do.
