EXPLORERS AGAINT EXTINCTION 2017
SKETCH FOR SURVIVAL
One elephant is killed in Africa every 15 minutes. That's 100 a day. An average of three rhinos a day are killed for their horn. To raise awareness of these shocking statistics we asked artists & celebrities to do a simple 15 minute sketch to support our campaign.
Our ‘Sketch for Survival’ exhibition now comprises of over 100 pieces of artwork, both professional works donated by leading wildlife artists as well as sketches from celebrity supporters. Each piece will be framed or mounted and exhibited online, as well as being displayed at the Royal Geographical Society during our Explorers against Extinction event on the evening of 12 October 2017. We are delighted that Tom Eddison, Deputy Director & Specialist in Contemporary Art at Sotheby's will be with us on the night to lend his expertise and run a short auction for a few of the pieces.
