Artwork from more than 70 artists including Sir Quentin Blake and Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood is to be auctioned off in Bath to raise money for youth charity The Prince's Trust. The exclusive invite-only auction called An Evening of Art will take place on December 5 at the Assembly Rooms. However art work, including pieces by Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park and Sir Peter Blake, can be bid for online now. Artist Jason Kelly is one of those who has contributed work. He said: "Having grown up in the South West, I am a supporter of the invaluable work that The Prince's Trust undertakes in the region to help young people transform their lives. "I am honoured to have been invited to donate my work Diamond Queen to the auction and hope that it will help this cause which is close to my heart." Guests on the night will also be able to bid for a watercolour painting by The Prince's Trust president the Prince of Wales. Christies contemporary art expert Tom Best will be conducting the live auction and guests be given touch screen tablets to use for a silent auction. Jack Lewis, from The Prince's Trust, said: "We're extremely grateful to all the artists who have donated artwork for the event. "There is some fantastic art on show and I would encourage guests to get online and make their bid now." He added: "With youth unemployment still high at the moment, it's important we keep doing everything we can to help disadvantaged young people across the South West. "The money raised from this event will help us to support many more young people across the region." Sponsors and supporters of the event are Coutts & Co, Withy King, The Roper Family Charitable Trust and ResideBath. To view the items available on the online auction go to www.princes-trustbathart2013.com. This will close at 12 noon on Thursday, December 5.
