Postcard-sized anonymous artwork sales for charity have become an institution in the fundraising world, seeing buyers scrabbling to snap up a piece by artists they recognise (see A Letter in Mind, below). This year’s Art on a Postcard Winter Auction – a sale that supports The Hepatitis C Trust’s mission to eliminate the virus in the UK by 2025 – will allow buyers to discover the practices and backgrounds of each artist before they bid. Anj Smith, Faith Wilding, Erik van Lieshout and Winston Branch are among the 230 artists who have contributed 10cm x 15cm artworks, and a full programme of podcasts, talks and an online exhibition makes the task of discovering new talents and future stars all part of the excitement. Bidding starts at £50, with all proceeds going to The Hepatitis C Trust. 5-19 November; artonapostcard.com
