We are excited to announce East Art Gallery will be launching with it's first collaboration between Dave Buonaguidi (aka Real Hackney Dave) and The Big Issue on Thursday 8th December. There will be over 60 original pieces created by lots of amazing artists that have all generously donated their time and talent towards this amazing cause.
The private view will be held at the new gallery space in Hackney Wick on 8th December, with all one off original pieces and editions available to purchase via online auction on the night and during the weekend. All proceeds will go to The Big Issue.
The Big Issue has over 30 years of experience changing lives through enterprise, by supporting Big Issue magazine vendors to earn an income through selling the Big Issue magazine. They have invested £400 million into over 500 social enterprises since 2005.
The Big Issue Group's mission is to create innovative solutions through enterprise, to unlock social and economic opportunity for the 14.5m people in the UK living in poverty to earn, learn and thrive.
