The wildlife charity, Explorers Against Extinction’s 2020 Sketch for Survival exhibition goes on show at the Gallery@oxo on London’s South Bank this autumn. Exhibits will include 100 Invitational works by invited professional artists and celebrities - such as Joanna Lumley, Dame Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Levison Wood - alongside 100 works from the Sketch for Survival Introducing category, selected from hundreds of entries received from all around the world. The competition aims to raise awareness about a range of conservation issues while showcasing up and coming talent. The 2020 competition attracted a record 600 plus entries from around the world, with the youngest contributor just six years old. An online auction will be held on consecutive Sundays - November 22 for Invitational and Introducing and November 29 for Illustrators and Celebrity artworks.
