PRIVATE VIEWING, GALA DINNER & AUCTION

HOSTED BY: STEPHEN FRY & LORD MELVYN BRAGG 

Location: Old Vic Tunnels then Imperial War Museum

From 6pm

BY INVITATION ONLY 

 

The evening will launch at OLD VIC TUNNELS with a champagne and sushi reception and the private viewing of Mindful, a group show of world-class contemporary art exploring the link between mental health and creativity curated by Mind ambassador Stuart Semple.

The underground OLD VIC TUNNELS labyrinth, an offshoot of the Old Vic Theatre unearthed by Kevin Spacey, provides the setting for one of the most exciting contemporary art shows of the year. The show will offer collectors the unique opportunity to acquire significant works from the exhibiting artists and in doing so provide funds for creative therapies within Mind.

This intimate evening will continue with a gala dinner and auction in the main atrium of the IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM, the original site of bedlam. Carriages between the venues will be provided and once seated amongst the iconic architecture, planes and tanks with only 300 other guests you will dine with new Mind president Stephen Fry and his predecessor Lord Melvyn Bragg. The banquet will be designed by a top chef from a five star central london hotel. 

A dynamic after dinner auction will follow. The charismatic LORD DALMENY of Sotheby’s will be your auctioneer for the evening offering up unbelievable experiences including A DAY IN THE STUDIO WITH THE KOOKS, CRUISE & DINNER ON MALCOLM CAMPBELL’S BLUEBIRD, BOUTIQUE SPANISH MANOR HOUSE HOLIDAY & PAINTING CLASSES.
