Our Secret Postcard Auction, in support of veterans’ mental health, opened on Monday 18 November. Will you spot the work of your favourite artists and celebrities among the 301 pieces we have available this year?

Over 130 professional artists, celebrities and veterans have submitted larger postcard-sized original artwork anonymously to be auctioned online in support of the charity. We’ve got one-off pieces from acclaimed artists such as Anne Desmet RA, George Underwood, Lothar Gotz, Josephine Trotter and Sue Kreitzman to name just a few!

This year, the majority of our postcards are a larger 178mm x 127mm in size, however some postcard dimensions may differ according to the artist's preferred use of medium/materials. All artworks are signed and dated by the artist on verso.

Why not check out our 'Curators Choice' section under the 'Categories' tab, here you will find a selection of our favourites.
