ABOUT THE AUCTION:
Dreweatts are thrilled to be working again with Art on a Postcard for the sixth edition of its annual International Women's Day Auction, hosting the auction and helping raise money for The Hepatitis C Trust. This is a timed online auction, running from Thursday 27 February - Thursday 13 March, showcasing nearly 500 curated artworks all presented in a postcard-sized format. Find out more here. Bidding for each miniature masterpiece starts at just £50 and there is no buyer's premium!
You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
