Dozens of artists have donated original works to a charity art auction taking place this summer.
A total of 48 UK-based artists are supporting the Artists For The Arts auction, including children's book illustrator Jane Hissey, artist Fatboy Slim and illustrator Louise Lockhart.
The auction is raising funds for the charity SCIP, supporting inclusive access to the arts.
Alice Carter, co-founder of SCIP, said: "Every week we see how access to our workshops helps children and young people. We see them grow in confidence and build connections with peers. Access to creativity and culture is a human right, and we want to grow our services to have a lasting, positive impact on people's well-being using the power of art and we are so excited that so many artists agree with us and want to support our mission!"
