Why get involved
Last year, the Secret Postcard Auction raised an incredible £92,000, helping us to:
-
support 1,000 + exhibiting artists
-
provide free exhibition access for over 4,000 + young people
-
deliver transformational creative programmes for communities across the region
-
present world‑class exhibitions and welcome 120,000 + visitors
-
care for our historic building, which makes all this possible
This was only possible thanks to the extraordinary generosity of both the brilliant artists who donate their work and the generous bidders who take part. You can find out who supported us here.
We no longer receive any regular public funding, so support for campaigns like this is more vital than ever in helping us fulfil our mission: that everyone can foster a lifelong journey with art.
“What makes Secret Postcard so special is seeing this community come together — artists sharing their time and talent, and bidders making that generosity go even further through their support. Bringing all the postcards together in the gallery is a joyful reminder of how many people believe in the RWA and the work we do, and we are always humbled and honoured by that support.” Ren Renwick, Director
The Big Reveal
We'll publish the names of the artists and the work they created in our newsletter after the auction closes and the postcards have been safely delivered to the lucky winners. If you don't want to miss the Big Reveal, sign up for our newsletter.
