It has been announced today that an original, signed piece of artwork created by Johnny Depp has been gifted to The Bright Foundation and will be auctioned online by Kerry Taylor Auctions, closing date 10 March. All proceeds will help the arts education charity to provide access to creative activities for children and young people facing disadvantage in the UK.
Depp’s work on paper will be auctioned alongside highly collectible memorabilia and experiential lots donated by global ambassadors and supporters of The Bright Foundation, founded by Oscar and BAFTA award-winning costume designer John Bright.
“Unfortunately, too many young, emerging artists lack access to proper resources and opportunities needed to hone their craft,” says Depp. “I hope my artwork will help in providing those tools in a way that most empowers them to succeed.”
